“Wonder”
By Derek Felix AKA DFlex
It’s late, and I’m up thinking
How did it all start
Was I asleep when you saw me
I had lost my way
Something changed on that fateful day
I didn’t know it at the time
I was left breathless without much to say
Just a look gave me a reason to rhyme
I knew I’d be back at some point
I didn’t know when but knew why
It was a while before I saw you again
You looked excited to see me and caught me by surprise
It wasn’t until then that I felt alive
I began to like you and wonder
You made me feel like someone
I hadn’t thought that way in forever
Maybe it was your shining light
Or the way you looked at me
I started to ask how you were
You always responded quite well
I never looked at you like a number
But rather, as a dedicated person
Someone who wasn’t only a pretty face
A unique quality that I noticed almost immediately
You aren’t like other girls
There’s a cool confidence and flair
That makes for a sunny disposition
With the personality to match
That’s what created wonder
Or a certain astonishment
It’s more than just finding you attractive
The way you handle yourself is admirable
Not everyone can captivate like the stars at night
Or a perfect sunset or picturesque rainbow in the sky
You could be anything your heart desires
If I could tell you, I’d say pursue your dreams
You’re always going to be that full moon
That I can’t take my eyes off
Except you’re real and not just a postcard
You truly are a work of art
If I could draw you, I wouldn’t change a thing
From your head to your toes, you’re special
I wish I could tell you in the most polite way possible
You deserve that kind of attention
I might still be up full of wonder
It’s because you are a gem
Someone who has a great smile
Somebody who won’t be just another girl I once knew
