When I’m around you

I’ve known a love

to have the scent of a rose,

but this is what I sense

when I’m around you.

I can only gawk and stare,

for these eyes must have been blind.

Behold the sight in front of me,

only beauty can I see,

when I’m around you.

How the Heavens must have opened

and let a cherub escape.

But I swear, it’s the voice of an angel,

A melodic symphony I hear,

when I’m around you.
