When I Think of You

                             (for Teresa)

When I think of you, I feel the tranquil night
Whisper lullabies in the moonlight.

When I think of you, I feel the rain stop pouring,
As the clouds disperse in the sun.

When I think of you, I feel the world come alive
Like the cherry blossoms in spring.

When I think of you, as I can only think of you,
I feel lost like a little child.

When I think of you, I am myself once again,
Knowing that I love you.
