POEM:
From the first hello to the most recent goodbye,
I can’t hide my smile when you look in my eyes.
A sweet whisper-like melody,
Every word sings quixotically.
Sideways glances from across the hall,
And all the times I can recall
Of anxiously hoping to run into you,
And wondering if you ever had a clue…
You had me from the first day.
These words were once so hard to say.
I just hoped you’d find it a surprise
That I can convey a lot with my eyes.
There is something about the way you are
That makes it difficult for me to stay far.
And even though I always poke fun at you,
Know it’s a unique way to show my love is true.
So take my hand and twirl me around,
And we’ll lose ourselves in the stars that surround.
And even though you hate to dance,
Always know you’re worth the chance
