Almost Over You Poem by Collette Y Anderson Williams

With you, I fell in love -
even before your face
I did see.

There in my heart
was a restlessness
to behold you,
but the occasion
was not yet
welcomed.

Then, there you were
among the many,
but it was you
who caught my eyes.

I secretly stole
moments to gaze
upon your lovely face.
My heart did smile;
it was satisfied!

Your eyes so gentle
and so soft.
It was then
that my heart spoke
a thousand words
to you;
but none you did
perceive.

I taught my heart
to be patient -
to wait to slow dance
with you.

Alas! We danced...
And, oh!We danced!

But now you waltz
to another melody;
we no longer share
the same rhythm
Our harmonies have become
Estranged.

Still, my heart
has not let you go -
even though
you've said goodbye.

Oh yes, the moment
My eyes did see you,
I knew from that
very moment
that my heart would not
desire another.

My heart aches
and is void of caring
for any other.
My life you had once
satiated with inexplicable
joy and happiness.

So, memories of you
I'll forever keep aflame
for even time forbids me to be
almost over you.
