About the Poem

I wrote this poem for my boyfriend, to show him how I first felt when I saw him walk into my house. He got locked up 2 months ago and I miss him very much. So Ryan when you get out and if you read this. This ones for you.

Ryan my heart has been forever changed by the grace of the love you give.

Love

by Jessica Genest

I was struck before the hour
Of a love so sudden and sweet.
Your face shone like a shining star
And made my own heart beat.
My face turned as pale as ever,
My legs refused to walk away
Yet when you looked at me
What could I possibly say?
My life had suddenly seemed
To all just melt away.

Then my blood rushed to my face
And took my sight away.
It seemed like it was midnight
When it was only mid- day
I could not see a single thing,
Words from my eyes did start,
They spoke as a chord does from a string
And a sweeter melody it did play.

You seemed to hear my silent voice
And love's appeal to dream
I never saw such a sweet face
As the one that stood before me.

Oh my god, I never thought that I would find somebody that was going through the same thing that I am. I have been with my boyfriend for 2 and 1/2 years almost and he's been in jail for 10 months now. I miss him so very much and wish that he was here right now. But he get's out in 2 months hopefully and I pray that he doesn't screw this one up too. I have a baby with him and I just want the best for her, and that's for her to have her adday around. Thank you so much, I'm going to print this poem off and send it to him. Thank you so much for pointing out that I'm not the only one going through this!

Lindsey

I really enjoied this poem because it sounds like what happen when my boyfriend asked me out. I was frozen and didn't know what to say. I had been crushing on him for quite some time then and word got around to him and he then cam up to me in the hall way before my 7/8 hour class and asked if I would ever go out with him and I said yes then he asked me and I was so happy but I was frozen and I couldn't think of what to say. So when I saw this poem I knew I wasn't alone in that feeling.
