Becoming The Muse

If you could see me now,
smiling,
I never knew,
an unexpected call from you,
would leave me like this,
I was sleeping when my phone rang,
I thought I was dreaming,

But when you said HELLO,

Now I can’t go back to sleep,
can’t stop smiling,
even if you can’t see it,
I still hear your voice,
like you right next to me,
I never knew it would be like this,

But when you said HELLO,

Lying on my bed,
Daydreaming of you,
Remembering when we first met,
I was nervous,
Knees shaking,
Palms sweating,
I could hardly breathe,
my heart racing,

but when you said HELLO,

My past, your present and our future,
it all came together
and you;
You’d be the last person I thought of,
At the end of each day,
before I slept to dream of you,
only to wake to think of you,
Blinking away my dreams,
to begin each day anew,
with thoughts of you,
I never knew,

but when you said HELLO,

Whenever you are not beside me,
I miss you,
each second of each minute,
can’t wait till you are in it,
and then my phone rings,

and you say HELLO,

Each moment together,
I tuck away in my memories,
To revist when am missing you,
The lil joys that brighten my day,
and can’t stop smiling,

when you say HELLO,

I dream of your smile,
When I sleep,
I sleep to smile ,
as I dream of you,
My dream,
is to sleep smiling
next to
you
I never knew it would be like this,

but when you said HELLO,

Missing you when you not here,
when I close my eyes,
I see you,
I feel you,
The reason my smile is real,
Yet still a reasonless smile
I never knew it would be like this,

but when you said HELLO….
