You

I fell in love before I knew your name
And long before I even saw your face
I didn't know that I was in the game
And still the elements fell into place

I touched your words and all the world was gone
I felt you rhyme and lost the rest of me
Before we met the stars had never shone
And now they lead me out across the sea

You taught me how to open up my heart
You showed me ways that words could paint the sky
Without my muse my poetry won't start
And with you here perhaps I'll learn to fly

You're everything I need and so much more
You are the key that's opened up the door

I feel every word of your sonnet, the longing of the senses. I absolutely concur with the sentiments hidden in your words, but then you alone know that.
