Carefully Measured

Folder: 
Love

I carefully measured,

when I first saw you.

Endeavored to drink it all in,

cause at the core you,

touched me, and left me elated

and for the first time, my longing is abated.



I study you.

And all of your pictures.

Like a builder who

examines all of his fixtures.

Or like a chemist

who measures each of his mixtures.



So total is my interest

and desire for you,

that my every action reflects

the best that I can do.



And I'm immersed in this study of

lazy afternoons and blue skies above,

long easy drives and glancing eyes,

new introductions to old family ties.



I lovingly assess,

all that I find best,

as there really is no time,

for as I measure you I find,

the importance lies not in the measurements...



but in how carefully I make you mine.
