“Wonder”

“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
