From The Beginning

From the Beginning

I got to the Ohio State University
Where I can become whoever I want to be
I thought I knew what Love is
Then my life went on pause
I met her at a Bible Study
I just wanted to be her buddy
I started to talk and get to know her
My life started to be one big blur
The feelings for my girl started to fade
This new girl is what I prayed
I did nothing about it because she was taken
That didn’t stop me from thinking what could have been
I remember the night of the Dave Chappelle concert
It was the night I first started to flirt
I wasn’t only smiling because of the comedy
But also because she was filling me with glee
I later told her how I felt about her
It wasn’t as I wanted, she didn’t even stir
So I gave up what could have been
And I started to feel pain deep within
I could never have her and that’s what hurt the most
I can’t even say that I was close
Time went on and so did us
It was for the best, I guess
I later told her she was just a rebound
But the truth, that isn’t what I found
I called her during spring break, to say we are gonna hang out more
We go and get lunch every Thursday; it’s definitely not a bore
Now, I will tell you why I am writing this
It’s because everything went from sorrow to bliss
She no longer has a boyfriend
And I don’t know how much longer I can pretend
I want to see her everyday
Just a glimpse, or even go outside and play
She’s got beautiful dark hair
Something you can’t compare
When she smiles, she sends chills down my body
If you saw her you’d know what I mean, I guarantee
Her eyes shine like nothing I’ve seen before
Like full of diamonds, gems, and stars galore
She means the World to me
And that’s Theresa Marie Lee

I know it isn't a great poem,
but I can at least say it comes from the heart.
Theresa, you really do mean the World to me
The part about the rebound is the truth,
I said that because it was an easy escape.
It made it easier to get over you by saying that.
But you always realize the things you love the most when they are gone.
Look, I don't know if you have a boyfriend now,
or are even going back out with Mike,
I don't know anything because I am at camp.
I'm writing this on May 18th, 2006.
Doing this 2 months early, just to show you how I care.
Look, I'm not looking for anything special
right now I just want to be your friend
You are exactly what I pray for everynight
All I want is for you to be happy.
I gave up once and I regret it completely
I know I had no chance, but I gave up on what could have been
I will have to quote Rascal Flatts
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin? where you're gettin? to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish

The only thing you can regret is never doing something
That is why I am telling you this
If I never tried to see if you had mutual feelings
I would regret this day my whole life.
I am also not trying to make things more stressful for you
I know that your family is going through a lot
Between the move, and everything
plus I know how close you are with your family.

I know this isn't much of a Birthday Present,
so if you are totally ticked at me right now, I am sorry. That is also why I sent you a real present,
yeah don't worry this isn't all I think you deserve.
I know you deserve the perfect man
I'm not perfect, but my love is pure
I can't give you all the money in the world,
all I have to offer are my feelings toward you
You deserve the world, and it hurts to know I can't give it to you
But I do know, if you gave me a chance, I could give you alot more
I could give you happiness, and a smile
so you can show the world the warmth of your smile

If you haven't already gotten your gift I will give you a clue.
"It's not as sweet as you, but it is a smell,
And when I see you, its like magic"

Have a SUPER GREAT Birthday
Enjoy it, you are now 20
I'm praying for you and especially your family
with the moving situation

Love Always and Always
Michael Mohler
