For My Dear

(About this poem: This was written for someone i was close to a year or so ago, but is in the past now. I am publishing it basically unedited other than adding some crude punctuation and line breaks for easier reading, because what i put into it at the time was just pure emotion and i think that is the most appropriate way to present it here.)

For My Dear

I ask myself, it seems always, lately,
how life can be so strange
as it sometimes turns out to be.

How so many miles from me
a shining star suddenly
is seen by my lonely, wondering eyes
and that star twinkles at me
just at the right moment in time
and captivates me, and holds my gaze.

A star unlike any other, in the universe.
I just feel it is MY star, maybe for a reason only God knows, but it is mine. And as i thought of
it, more and more,
this star, my dear, is of course you.
You have became MY star, i hope,
and twinkle just for me,
though all can see your beauty and brightness
as they gaze upon you.

The star of mine, that you are, has truly
captivated my heart;
your beauty, your smile, your laugh,
your sweet words,
your everything, your soul
has captivated me.
And I dont ever want to let you go.
I find myself thinking of you
at every waking moment it seems.

I awake to you.
I hum to you.
I travel with you.
I work with you.
I eat with you.
I read with you.
I sit and think with you.
I lay down to sleep with you.
I dream with you.

I can only hope that now, it can all come true
and it will not be just in my mind and heart, but more.
So much more, soon, my dear.
I love you, my
bright, twinkling,
forever star!
