I Have Been Looking For You Poem by Gert Strydom

From my very first breath
I have been searching
for someone just like you
and I have been looking into eyes that are beautiful
for the one that is just perfect for me,

have been looking for the beauty of your face,
have been searching for the one
of whom the very first sight leaves me breathless
and on this very day I have caught sight of you,
have seen the kind of perfection
that the greatest painters and sculptors
dream of laying down on canvas,
of chiseling out into life.

I have found you
and all of my dreams,
my hidden desires
have suddenly come true
when equally smitten you did look back at me.

Today you have walked right into my life
and this was totally unexpected
although my heart, my body and soul
have been expecting you for years.

I did yearn for you
and those who have laughed at my view of love and life
have still not found the right one
and they are uncomfortable with our happiness,
are embarrassed with the very idea
that real true love does actually exist.

Your beauty amazes me,
my head,
my heart spins
while I look at you
and see your perfection
in a zillion different ways

and these feelings,
this decision to love you
has made me alive
as if it's much more than just being human,
as if meeting you
is an act from the divine.

While I do behold you
your breath brings life to a heart
that had been yearning for years for you
and I am at your mercy
while I do pray
for endless days in your company.
