I Cant Breathe

I look at you and I can't breathe
I dont understand the way you effect me
I'm always feeling an aching need to please you
 or see your smile
I cant believe that its all over so soon
It brings tears to my eyes to know that 
 these are our last few days.
My soul aches at the thought that I may never see your face
 or your smile again.
No one could ever delight me
 the way you do
You carry an everlasting glow
 that, hopefully, I will never have to let go of
And so I ask myself,
     " Could this be love?"
But I do not know
So i keep it bottled up inside
And in my writing I will confide
 until the day I have the courage
 and knowledge to say
exactly what it is I feel for you.

I enjoyed reading your poem today, I especially liked the last 8 line, very nicely put together.
