The Heart Gives In

When i think of you
Jaded memories of days past
All just fade away
And the mind fills true
With thoughts of us at last
And the future someday


You fill me with such emotion
My eyes now know their brim
My mind in commotion
Yet the heart gives in


When i think of you
You make my heart delight
Feelings once such an endeavor
And the mouth will do
Just what is right
Now i could smile forever


You fill me with such emotion
My eyes now know their brim
My mind in commotion
But the heart gives in


When i think of you
And your feelings so sweet
I've overwhelming desire
The eyes long to view
Envelop you head to feet
A grip that'll never tire


You fill me with such emotion
My eyes reach their brim
My mind seeks devotion
So the heart gives in

Recently unearthed from an old journal of mine. Written about an ex.  While i gave him most of the things i'd written about him, i don't remember ever giving this one to him for whatever reason.  Perhaps cuz we'd gotten into a fight then i forgot about it--typical.  Go on, shake your head.  I am.
