First Time [Glosa Verse]

Lines from First Time by Lifehouse
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WzqAvXmbYU

We're both looking for something we've been afraid to find.
For once in my life, I'm scared to death.
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right.
Like being in love, to feel, for the first time.
````````````````````````````````````

Tear drops splatter on my favorite guitar,
As I sit here, dreaming, wondering how you are.
Your voice is the melody of my favorite song;
The lyrics help to guide me through what is right and wrong.
We're riding phone lines, just to see what we can find -
Wondering if my head is right; you're the image that comes to mind.
Past mistakes just melt away; the heartbreak isn't spoken -
No one wants to dwell on times when we were lost or broken.
So release all inhibitions; let's just free our minds;
"We're both looking for something we've been afraid to find."

It took us too long to realize that what we held was true -
How could it be anything else? All I can see is you.
Sure, there may be distance - but we're not that far apart;
Maybe just in miles, but never in our hearts.
So let's take this plunge and we'll hold our breath;
I'm not afraid to admit that I'm scared half to death -
But I know I'll have you to hold my hand through it all,
And I know that you would catch me, if I began to fall.
So jump in, here we go, as I'm holding my breath,
"For once in my life, I'm scared to death."

You tell me that I'm on your mind - well you're all that's in my head -
I smile with all the memories; I laugh at the jokes you said.
Your kisses felt like thunder, I got lightning in my veins -
You're my antidote to a broken heart; the cure to all my pain.
Never have I known something to be so right -
I would never give you up without putting up a fight.
Some tell me that I'm crazy, they don't know how I feel -
While the rest if the world is fake, you are the one who's real.
So just stay here, with me, and let us save tonight.
"Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right."

So we'll ride these phone lines, hoping for that day,
The day when we can finally do what we always say -
So let's get these hearts beating a little faster,
As I pray for this one not to end in disaster.
But knowing you and me, I know we'll be fine,
And I know that soon, it'll finally be our time.
So keep me in your heart cause I could never let you go.
I just keep telling you that, making sure you know.
It's amazing how I feel, I hope that you don't mind.
"Like being in love, to feel, for the First Time."

Glosa-Verse: A Spanish form invented by court poets in the 14th and 15th centuries. An opening quatrain, called a 'cabeza' is chosen from another poet, or song. The glosa elaborates or 'glosses' on the quatrain with four ten line stanzas, their concluding lines taken consecutively from the quatrain and their sixth and ninth lines rhyming with the borrowed tenth.

I loved this, words can not explain how much this poem hit me. Every line in it was so descriptive, the imagery was amazing in this piece. You tied in the lines from the song very well, the flow was a little bit off at some parts, but nothing too serious. Great job. :]
