I Think of You...(poem)

I Think of You...

I think of you when the wind blows,
       And too, when it is still.
I want to give you everything
       That your heart could ever will.
I want to hold you on a pier
       Overlooking the setting sun
Over the blue-green ocean in a place
       Of which only you and I know.
I want to show you falling leaves,
       Tell you that I’m falling, too,
Give you a zillion rainbows
       And see you smile your wonderful smile.
I think of you whenever I can,
       And can’t, and always do.
I want to touch you again,
       But for only the first time, forever.
I want to show you Paris,
       For when I was there,
I missed you and your kiss,
       Though I didn’t know you but did.
Be at my side, starting before time began.
       You already are, sometimes, forever, if only in my heart.
I think of you when the wind blows,
       And it’s always blowing somewhere,
Like it always has, like now, in my heart.
       Is it blowing in yours, too?
Is it blowing around and around,
       Making you feel strangely good?
I loved you before I saw you,
       Before I knew who you were.
I want to be with you always,
       Loving you, doing for you,
Making me happy by keeping you happy,
       As I would so eagerly do.
I think of you when the wind blows,
       And it is blowing now.
I want to love you forever,
       Let me show you how.

I wrote this for/about a girl my senior year of high school. It didn't help my chances with her, but people seem to have liked it. I'm hoping to convert it into a song at some point, too, but I keep getting stuck. I do have a couple things in mind, though. Enjoy :)
