About the Poem

When I fall in love, how would I feel? I asked this question to myself countless times, and even now as I write, I cannot help but reflect on those times when I did fall in love - madly, fondly and blindly.

But alas! Love and Fate enjoy teasing a young man like me, for I had stumbled again. This sweet and wonderful dream that I perceived it to be, is in fact, just another faraway and fading one. What you will read in this poem, will be what I was feeling last night, when everything seemed so rosy and lovely. But things are not to be now.

When I Fall In Love

by Melvin Lee

When I fall in love,
I want to be
with her
always;

In happiness,
to smile with her,
and be the one
to hug her near.

In sadness,
to cry with her,
and be the one
to dry her tears.

When I fall in love,
I will spend my
every waking
and sleeping
moments
with her

and catch each
moment in its
eternally
lovely
form.

When I fall in love,
I will miss her
the very moment
I say 'goodbye'

and my heart
will yearn for
the very moment
I say ‘hello'.

When I fall in love,
all my old hurts
and pains
will seem
lost and
faded
away

and I will be
strong and
brave
once
again.

When I fall in love,
I want you
to be happy
always, ever

and feel like
the happiest
person
of them
all . . .

Because that's

what I will feel,

when I fall in love,

with you.

Very touching poem! I am feeling like i am the one who is writing this poem. Thank the poet very much for putting the feelings into words.

Jon

Wonderful poem! As Shakepeare said about men, "they have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise...". I think this poem is almost completely contary of that thought, and scrapes the line of being a true description of being in love. Whereas real love is impossible to put into words, I think you've summed it up just about right. Thanks you so much

Colin

simple, direct and beautiful.

Aristides
