The Puzzle

Tonight I look, But can not find All I need are 6 letters And they are running through my mind These 6 letters are a name in my heart Who letters embed my paper with art My mind is quicker than my words It knows what my tongue may not I may not be the best at this Because I have never been taught But these 6 letters are on their way Starts with a "B" ends in an "A" Maybe the rest will come to Hoping that "I" belongs with "U" Speaking of "I" that is letter three Maybe you will, belong to me Three down, three to go What letters remain? Only my heart may know Of the three I need two four and five And this name has made me feel so alive If you can become mine It will fix every scar Speaking of which The second is "R" This darkness is becoming day And gets clearer, As I find out the fourth is "A" So now with only one letter left to show I hope this is a memorable way of letting you know That you have brought me joy And I hope this is not a heartfelt ploy As I finish drawing ink out of my pen My heart tells me the fifth is "N" So now that your name is told I sit here and wait for the pieces to unfold So with this name I smile and say I am growing to like you In every way
