When I fall in love, how would I feel? I asked this question to myself countless times, and even now as I write, I cannot help but reflect on those times when I did fall in love - madly, fondly and blindly.

But alas! Love and Fate enjoy teasing a young man like me, for I had stumbled again. This sweet and wonderful dream that I perceived it to be, is in fact, just another faraway and fading one. What you will read in this poem, will be what I was feeling last night, when everything seemed so rosy and lovely. But things are not to be now.

When I Fall In Love
by Melvin Lee
When I fall in love,
I want to be
with her
always;

In happiness,
to smile with her,
and be the one
to hug her near.

In sadness,
to cry with her,
and be the one
to dry her tears.

When I fall in love,
I will spend my
every waking
and sleeping
moments
with her

and catch each
moment in its
eternally
lovely
form.

When I fall in love,
I will miss her
the very moment
I say 'goodbye'

and my heart
will yearn for
the very moment
I say ‘hello'.

When I fall in love,
all my old hurts
and pains
will seem
lost and
faded
away

and I will be
strong and
brave
once
again.

When I fall in love,
I want you
to be happy
always, ever

and feel like
the happiest
person
of them
all . . .

Because that's

what I will feel,

when I fall in love,

with you.

    I really enjoyed reading the poem it reminds me what me of the way i felt about my ex girlfriend and reminfds me of the way i still fell about her, i look at is as a message telling me that if you love someone enough that u fell like it sais in the poem then you will do what ever it takes to be with that person.

    Very touching poem! I am feeling like i am the one who is writing this poem. Thank the poet very much for putting the feelings into words.
  • Jon
    Wonderful poem! As Shakepeare said about men, "they have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise...". I think this poem is almost completely contary of that thought, and scrapes the line of being a true description of being in love. Whereas real love is impossible to put into words, I think you've summed it up just about right. Thanks you so much
  • Colin
