Why do I feel that I know you
From many, many years gone by?
We can complete each other’s thoughts
While scarcely batting an eye

So comfortable together
Our feelings can be so in tune
We barely begin to talk
And then it ends too soon

To spend some time together
We truly ought to try
To make a way though out hearts
Before these feelings die

If I held you close
And didn’t let you go
What would you have to say?
Would it be ok?
What would you do?
Would you try to stay?
Or would you run away?
I hope that you would not
But in that I have no say
Except to hold you close
As long as I can this day

As you lay upon your pillow
Breathing softly, eyes closed tight
I gaze upon your beauty
And wonder at the sight

My gaze does trace your face
My heart fills with delight
Slowly I begin to realize
My feelings for you tonight

Are beautiful to me
Your hair, your face, your eyes
Beneath your cool facade
A loving spirit lies

Can’t get your eyes enough
Hypnotic as they be
I peer into you soul
As you peer into me

Into your eyes I do gaze
Those limpid pools of blue
Into your heart I see
As I do look at you

Questions have I on my mind
They bother me as I do sleep
I toss and turn in my bed
As the answers I do not find

Are you real? Can you truly be?
Why do we never get to meet?
Scans of pictures of you I have
Seems that nothing current I see

Are there feelings in you for more?
I know we seem to try to see
But flutter about this we can’t
Do you want to deeper explore?

If we move on to feelings deep
And love happily does blossom,
Will you consent to marry me
If it is there we choose to leap?

Do I want to slog about blind
While the queries you do ponder?
The answers true and right I seek
To these questions on my mind

What do you want in a man?
What do you hope for and need?
Do you long for gentle hands?
Or to hold you when you want?

What do you want in a man?
To pick you up when you’re down?
To be there through good and bad?
To keep you safe in this life?

What do you want in a man?
One to put you before him?
One to keep himself for you?
One to make of you his queen?

What do you want in a man?
Does he give you tenderness?
The will to give and not receive?
To treat you special all your life?

What do you want in a man?
What is it you want to see?
Do you want the words above?
Do you want that from me?

Were the words, “I Love you”
To pass between my lips
What would be your thinking?
Could it have been a slip?

Have these inner stirrings
Are my feelings this deep?
Pondering I stay awake
For naught I covet sleep

I know I love your mind
Personality too
I like the times we talk
As I know that you do

These thoughts chasing each other
As I sit upon my bed
Clarity I try to find
For these feelings in my head

Could this spark go further
As we play out our parts?
Only you and I know
The story in our hearts

I’m having problems believing you real
Conversations, pictures all that I have
Never have I heard the hint of you voice
Nor seen you as we sat down for a meal

If you were to call, might fall over dead
So unexpected that event would be
To hear your voice even over the phone
Would do wonders for the thoughts in my head

So if you feel the urge to calm my fears
And to set my mind at a comforting ease
Figure a way to make this be soothing
so that this feeling of haze disappears

There once was a girl named Kheli
Who always kept losing her cell-y
She found it once more
As she went out the door
At least it wasn’t down in the jelly
