Heart Strings Bound and Braided.

By Nonnie · Dec 15, 2009 · ·
  1. Happiness felt years ago
    Reminding me of joys once known
    Every moment brings me home
    -when you speak I come undone
    When you laugh, my blood slows
    Hum and my heart keeps its beat
    Say "Goodnight" and I do

    These are sincerest feelings
    As best as I can describe them
    - when I hear your laugh, I almost faint
    speak and I come un-glued
    as you breathe I sink into its melody
    And when you say "Sweet dreams" I do

    I think only of you as I stare at the moon
    Beautiful that you see it too
    How I hope to feel you here soon
    -laugh and feathers tease my stomach
    As you speak I melt into it
    you breath, I grin so silly
    That when you say "Take care" I do

    At night staring at the vacuous ceiling
    My mind filling in blanks as I talk to you
    I don't know how I've been living till now
    Without this joy you bring
    You need to know you’re the reason my heart sings

    If you never laughed, I think my heart would break
    Keep silent, and it would be too much to take
    If you died, I surely would too
    Say "Goodbye" and I couldn't live without you

    I've been in a situation or two with these feelings inside.

    I like this 'And when you say "Sweet dreams" I do'. Favorite line

    I haven't felt like that in years. I don't miss it >.>

    The reason I wanted so badly to keep the lines "sweet dreams", "take care", and "Goodnight" is because the poem was written with a specific person in mind and every night after we would get off the phone he would say one of those three things. No variation, never, he never deviated from those three things and I always found it funny.
