Jasmin Grider Poetry

That day-
It felt like night-
It was noon and I loved you-
It was so soon-
And I loved you-
No matter the thoughts that lingered on-
I felt the need to tell someone-
That I loved you-
I wanted to scream that I loved you-
The heart beats that skipped too many times-
I couldn't breathe and I loved you-
So many words to say and then-
The feeling took over me again-
Feeling so desparate to tell you I loved you-
But I couldn't dare say I loved you-
The hours had not yet progressed-
And the day we met was still the day at hand-
It was too soon for "I love you"-
But I knew that I loved you-
The thoughts of the future already present in my mind and-
I hoped I could move up the hands of time and-
I felt the need to call you mine-
And I loved you-
It was so clear-
And I loved you-
So clear that the moment you said goodnight-
I felt a tear fall from my eye and-
I felt the essence you left behind and-
I can't deny it was powerful-
And that's how I knew I loved you-
The visions of loving another passed through my thoughts again-
Still it was your voice I came to at the end-
A fallen star in the world I call mine-
A decision not to turn the steady hand of time-
I couldn't help that I loved you-
I almost felt shame that I loved you-
The feeling came to me so fast-
I didn't ignore it or let it pass-
It felt so right that I loved you-
Now every night I love you-
I feel the pain that I love you-
The thought of someone else having you for their own-
Not hearing your voice when I answer the phone-
Someone taking my place on your days alone-
I saw the fear, cuz I love you-
I shed a tear, cuz I love you-
And in the end all I do-
It's cuz I love you.
