When I first saw you, I was hypnotized
by your silky brown skin and your amazing eyes...
and I longed to run my fingers through your hair.
I noticed your cute cheeks when you smiled
and I know that by meeting you it would be worthwhile...
One of my strongest feelings for you is wishing I was there.

I'm very glad you said 'yes'
(even though I would not have guessed)
to wanting to get to know me better.
You have made a huge impact in my life
and I hope that someday you will be my wife...
as it was time for me to send you this poetic letter.

I never want you to feel lonely or depressed
because I will always be here for you and I would be blessed
to be in your life; so someday you will see.
I apologize from the bottom of my heart
for not meeting you sooner... but I hope we can start
a life together where you will get to know the real me.

You'll see that my words are as true as I am
and as I will finally meet you... I hope you will understand
that patience is something you taught me more of.
I know that we will have our chance
to laugh in the rain and slowly dance
in a life together as we fall deeply in love.

Your beauty and gentleness pulled me in
and I felt your blown kiss that came with the wind...
because of who you are- I am still mesmerized.
As I long to be yours very faithfully
and to be with you for eternity...
I want to love you forever and always look into your amazing eyes.
