From Now On

That brilliant smile upon your face, 
it lights my darkened soul. 
One gaze upon your heavenly grace 
and I lose all control. 

Your face, so graceful in its form, 
is ne’er an afterthought. 
Your eyes, my soul seem to warm, 
when in your gaze I’m caught. 

Your skin, so lovely, is soft as snow; 
I feel it as I dream 
about you, and the things I know. 
You are not as you seem. 

Your presence is so dear to me. 
I’m pained to be alone. 
But I know you’ll appear to me 
when I am on my own. 

I see you when I close my eyes. 
Your smile I see so clear. 
My rationale mystifies. 
Why should it be so Dear? 

I’ve only known you for a few short weeks, 
yet to you I feel drawn. 
I find your presence so unique 
I want you from now on.
