The Way I Feel Poem by Peri Morgan

I do not know if it's true,
the way I feel inside,
but when I look into your eye's,
one thought comes to mind.

To me it just seems so surreal,
the beauty that you hide,
but when you smile it's hidden no more,
it shines through like a light.

I'm lost inside darkest brown,
so deep, loving and pure,
when I sit and picture that,
there's one thing that I'm sure.

We were always meant to be,
even when we pretend,
that you can't love because of pain,
yet I feel your heart mend.

Every time I touch you,
you try to shrink away,
yet still I feel you drawing closer,
each and every day.

When I lay my head to rest,
the last thing that I see,
is your smile like the stars,
shining back at me.

I've tried myself to be false,
to everything I feel,
I tell you this 'cause I can't lie,
I know that this is real.

So whatever happened in the past,
is where it's going to stay,
I am here and going nowhere,
until my dying day.
