You came and you rescued me... <br />from the wind of a turbulent storm. <br />You offer comfort and security, <br />and a place to feel safe and warm. <br /> <br />But how could you have known, <br />that I could so easily be led... <br />away from what I thought was love, <br />into your arms instead. <br /> <br />I feel as if I've known you... <br />because of your kind and gentle ways. <br />You're like a ray of sunshine... <br />after too many wet and cloudy days. <br /> <br />You seem to see right through me... <br />and have read me like a book. <br />You have touched me your gentleness... <br />and caressed me with your look. <br /> <br />Your passion has surprised me... <br />because it so matches that of mine. <br />You're like a diamond in the rough... <br />so exquisite and hard to find. <br /> <br />You excite me beyond explanation... <br />you have caused a fever deep within. <br />I want to share my passion with you... <br />but also I want you to be my friend. <br /> <br />It's too soon to know where this is going... <br />or where this discovery could lead. <br />I only know that when I'm with you... <br />you seem to satisfy my every need. <br /> <br />For today I wish only to thank you... <br />for giving me a new reason to smile. <br />You're a much needed breath of fresh air... <br />that I want to deeply breathe in for a while. <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright©2004 Shelly Price <br />All Rights Reserved<br /><br />Shelly Price<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-could-you-have-known/
