How Could You Have Known Poem by Shelly Price

You came and you rescued me...
from the wind of a turbulent storm.
You offer comfort and security,
and a place to feel safe and warm.

But how could you have known,
that I could so easily be led...
away from what I thought was love,
into your arms instead.

I feel as if I've known you...
because of your kind and gentle ways.
You're like a ray of sunshine...
after too many wet and cloudy days.

You seem to see right through me...
and have read me like a book.
You have touched me your gentleness...
and caressed me with your look.

Your passion has surprised me...
because it so matches that of mine.
You're like a diamond in the rough...
so exquisite and hard to find.

You excite me beyond explanation...
you have caused a fever deep within.
I want to share my passion with you...
but also I want you to be my friend.

It's too soon to know where this is going...
or where this discovery could lead.
I only know that when I'm with you...
you seem to satisfy my every need.

For today I wish only to thank you...
for giving me a new reason to smile.
You're a much needed breath of fresh air...
that I want to deeply breathe in for a while.
