to know someone

to know someone for such a short time
but love them so much
is a dangerous thing
jealousy hangs over the edge of my mind
every minute that you are gone
to feel you near me is pure bliss
to feel your touch is heaven itself
you reign supreme in my thoughts
and everything else falls to the background
i could study the contours of your face for hours
and forever be fascinated
the memories of our time together
send my emotions reeling with longing
in my dreams, you are mine,
and i am yours,
and there is no doubt that it will last
any less than eternity.
