I Still Believe

Thoughts of you brings me such pleasure 
Your masculine voice dwells in my mind
The feelings that I have for you is a treasure 
You are a rare creature, you're one of a kind

At night when I dream, you're the star
I long to be secure in your warm embrace 
I feel your touch, when you're near or far
My love for you transcends time and space

You caused love to bloom in my heart 
Before I met you, I had given up on love
Who knew that we would have to part
Your affections were gentle as a dove

It's mind boggling how you got my lame jokes 
I can honestly say you are my best friend
Every time I'm near you, my heart spoke
My love for you will always be, it will never end

Today as I sit and I'm filled with desire and hope
That you'll say bye to your obligations to the war
If for some reason you don't return, I couldn't cope
I have to believe that you'll walk through the door

Wow Alexis, this is such a well written poem, the rhymes are pot on and the flow perfect. This love that you feel and how you describe it allows the reader to know your heart. You mention "best friend" every love relationship in my opinion begins with friendship and if you do happened to fall in love with your best friend, there is nothing better. There is a sadness at the tend of this that is also felt, so I am with you, I hope he walks through that door very soon. Beautifully done my friend.
