For Christian

December 30, 2008
By Anonymous

So it's a little new to me
You are still a novelty
An ancient book with a dusty spine
Cracked open for the very first time

I'm quite your opposite you know?
You love the sun, I love the snow
You are open and free
I wait to see what others think of me

Sometimes our differences cause
Me to stop and think we need a pause
One small break to make sure
That each other is who we're for

My head is logical, my heart is not
It beats so fast and causes my stomach to knot
It is this insane, crazy rush
That makes me yearn for your touch

It keeps me glued to you
It makes me glad that I jumped and flew
Into your embracing arms
That want to keep my heart safe from harm

Honestly it’s crazy how I feel for you
It’s like you planned it, you always knew
The right thing to say to make it right
How to calm me after our stupid fights

I want to jump into something more
There is more to you than I saw before
So please hold my hand and don't let go
I'm giving in to my heart; let's go with the flow

The author's comments:
This is a poem for the man that opened my eyes to love. That encouraged me to finally jump and take a chance on him and take a chance on love.

i couldn't stop reading it. i think almost everyone feels that way but they dont know how to put it into words. the way you expressed it was probably the best i have ever read.

Awesome poem haha You remind me of a friend I use to have. Her name was Erin, too. This sounds like something she might write. Random tangent, sorry lol Anyway back to your poem. I love the fact that there is a sense of innocence, and I think that the rhyme scheme is great for a poem like this. It's cute haha but it's also serious. It's the begining leading into something more, and I think thats a great theme for any work, no matter how subtle. Keep writing! haha

&ldquo;Yes I love him. I love him more than anything else in this world and there is nothing that I would like better than to hold on to him forever. But I know it&#039;s not for the best. So no matter how much my heart is going to break, I&#039;ve got to let him go so he can know just how much I love him. Maybe if I&#039;m lucky, he&#039;ll come back, but if not, I can make it through this.&rdquo;

Hoestly, at first I didn't really even like this. It seemed too cheesy for what I typically like. But I continued reading and actually got CHILLS! Congrats on super-spiffiness, dude!
