You Wrote To Me Poem by Phil Soar

You wrote of love and feelings on a paper thin notepad
You wrote so very graphically of all the thoughts you had
You wrote of understanding, and the reasons that you do
You never thought you’d finish with the words I want you to
You finished with a heartfelt line, of love and all its passion
You had me in your grip and touched my heart in such a fashion
Your words creating imagery, of all that you convey
And painted such a picture of the things you want to say
I read it with a tear stained face, and felt that I was blessed
That you had thought to write this down, your feelings you confessed
And as I wipe these tears of joy away, and raise a smile
I guess I should reply in my inimitable style

I’ll write to you of feelings that I’ve had for many years
I’ll spell it out in complex words, and hope to quell your fears
I’ll tell you that I love you, and you mean the world to me
And I’ll keep your note within my heart, under a lock and key
