Just one look.

One word from you and my frown turns to a smile
One look from you and my heart regains its stride
One caress from your soft hands makes my skin alive
One sound from your gentle voice makes me reach for the sky

You have the power to make me laugh and the skill to make me cry
You have the strength to appease many an outcry
You have the wisdom to bring me out of a land so dry
That I sometimes think God himself put you in my sky

Missing you sends pains to my heart
Seeing you brings spring back from the dark
Thinking of you opens the hope of a new day
Hearing from you atones the mishaps of my way

This is an ode to you, my friend
This is a love song which will never end
This is a poem to express my joy
This is a sonnet to say that this boy

Loves you
Appreciates you
Needs you
And knows he is darn lucky to have you
