Poem- When Do You Fall In Love

Ok I am just starting to become a writer, definitely Not a poet and all yet and ya this is not something I wrote but rather what I believe someone wrote for me, once-long back. Anyways here goes-

When do you fall in love?
Everyone said it will happen
But everyday & everyway my hope dampened

Then, one day I met you
And my world turned upside down
I knew people like you were few
Making others laugh while you act like a clown

I decided its nothing, its just a crush
But deep down , there was this hush
Making me realize I've fallen in love
As pure and beautiful as a white dove

I loved you , wanted to tell you
And I wished you felt the same
And as if right on cue
You told me love for you came

My heart leaped with joy when I heard you
It felt like a dream, a wish come true
I started to tell you how I felt
That when I'm with you, my knees melt

But I didn’t start.......

Your eyes sparkled with love
But it wasn't me you loved
Your words whispered desire
But it was her who set your heart on fire

And as you told me how she fits the part
I realized she was the key to your heart

I listened as a loving friend would
To all your praises of her
And tried as long as I could
To hold back tears that were so near
And when you finally left

I felt so alone
Afraid to face the world
Afraid to go home

Coz I felt at home with you,
I wanted to be with you
I wanted to hold you
I wanted to share every dream, old and new

And though that was not possible now
I just hope you know
That I would be there
And I would care
Because I knew the day we met
I would love you until death......

Charming isn’t it? I believed so too.
