About the Poem

I have always been a person who chose to write about my feelings rather than to discuss them.

Basically, I had been friends with this person for less than a year, but I knew that this was something different and something so much better than anything I have ever felt before. Before I knew it, I had fallen in love and now all I can do and think about is how lucky I truly am. I dedicate this to you - I hope you know that (you know who you are).

As Days Flew By

by Peng

The very first time I saw you,
Was special how we met.
You took me by complete surprise.
I knew my heart was set.

As days flew by, we talked again,
But you never seemed to care.
I tried my best to help you out,
By a favor here, or a favor there.

Although I made a fast approach,
Our friendship grew and grew.
I realized how deep I cared,
But the feeling I felt was new.

In time I became attached to you.
From a hug, I wouldn't let go.
I soon saw how close we were,
And the feeling was good to know.

For you, I wrote sweet letters and songs.
You were on my mind all day.
The thought of sleeping was nowhere near,
Unless I knew you were okay.

It hit me then, what I was in -
A unique and precious love.
For the person I said was only mine,
Was an angel sent from above.

The minutes without you turned into days,
And the seconds with you flew fast.
I could only wish to see you more,
And make each moment last.

The times I spent with you,
Were what made my heart complete.
I knew one thing for sure,
Without you, my future was obsolete.

And now, we love just the same,
As it doubles day by day.
I stare deep into your precious eyes,
Yet I'm still speechless to what I should say.

With you, I'm in a whole new world.
You bring out the best in me.
It's hard to picture you not there,
When you taught me who to be.

Yes, the road ahead gets hard,
When things may only seem rough.
But because you and I try so much,
We'll stay strong and get by tough.

Though problems may lie ahead someday,
And either of us could be right;
I promise to always be by your side,
And I promise my heart, so hold it tight.

And so, each night, beside my bed,
When there's only bright stars to see;
I pray that we may never give up,
And will always remain you and me.

I can't believe how well you described the feelings i had for my first love, i've not loved anyone since but knowing exactly what i felt, has been felt by others, gives me hope i can feel that way again.

Cheryl-Anne

I truly loved this poem, it spoke about how valuable friendships is to every individual, support and love from friends. In the most troubling times it helps to know when friends is just there to listen too and have broad shoulders too cry on.

emma

i think that this poem is unique, i loved it from beginning to end and it touched me, thr reason i personally think it toucheed me so much was the fact is that i feel the same about a special some one and even though times seem rough (if you have the right person) there will always be a light at the end of the tunel. thank-you for writing such a wonderful and deeply expressing poem.

that poem reminds me of my boyfriend and I it hits the spot. unfortinatly my boyfriend is no longer with me today, but when he was alive we had the same feelings like that and he grew on me. I loved him very much and he loved me too, I hope that you wont have to experience what I have, just hold on tight to the love of your life because you never know when they could not be there the next day.
