I'M Still Hopelessly In Love With You

Far
So far away 
Whenever I need you
You’re not around

I think of you
Dreaming we would find a way 
To get back together again
And that you would stay

I love
Everything about you, if you didn’t know
I love the way you hold me close
I love the way you whisper to my ear

There’s nothing I won’t say or do
To have you, back into my arms
Loving me the way 
The way only you can do

I love 
Love to dance with you
I love to feel
Your heart beat next to mine

As we move across the floor
The music takes us away
And we’re hopelessly in love 

The way I pray we'd stay

If you were only here
but you're so far away 
I'm still hopelessly, in love with you

Arturo, your romantic heart beats with passion and your blood pulses with longing - your potent pen flows with vulnerability, mon ami. Such emotion expressed so beautifully is swoon worthy. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

The power of your sentiment break through the poetic wonderment, when words so enchanting, so graceful cannot hide.

Love sometimes can last a lifetime. When it is one sided it can feel like an inferno. Well delivered dear Arturo. I hope its fiction xo

There's no way I can write unless it's coming from the heart...that's the one lesson I've learned in writing poetry...before I could think it...now, must feel it... Thanks my friend...

I'm always trying something different...will experiment with voice styles in the future...it's easier to write with mind and body, talk and write...then ink is spirit
