The One For Me

It was you who told me 
Everything that I needed to hear
For you loved all that I loved 
It seemed
It was you who enslaved my eyes 
With your amazing heirs of grace and charisma
Making sure that they never strayed 
Nor told more lies
It was you who convinced me to take a walk that day
And begin the greatest experience of my life
For we walked, talked and kissed the entire day away
And I wished that you were the one for me.

It was you who placed your heart within my palms
So that I could hold it
So that I could feel it beat
A heart so great that I could barely contain it
Within my arms.
It was you who took hold of mine
And suddenly
You became its beat.
A beautiful beat drumming to the rythym of what is now
Our song.
And as I am engaged 
With the synchronicity of our body movements
I thought that you were the one for me.

It is me who is angry now
For I am not in control of myself 
When you are near
It is me now
Whom you have captured in an emotional net
A net that knows no gloom nor any form of sorrow
That made me believe that you were the one for me

It is my nights of sleeping in peace 
That I have given up for you
For your sweet invasion of my mind 
Never seems to cease.
It is with me  
That the problem now lies
For I get lost in you when we are together
Lost in your smile, Lost in your arms
Lost in that mysterious universe within your eyes.
It is me now 
That is beginning to enjoy being lost in you
For the feeling is unique and unadulterated
Untouched by dirty hands
And now I know 
That you are the one for me
