Would you mind if I told you...

that I love you
every second
every minute
every hour
every day
every week
every month
every year
of my life?

Would you mind if I told you...

that you are my best friend
my confidant
my lover
my world
my everything
my "I can't live without you?"

Would you mind if I told you...

that I stay up late thinking about you
or that I keep dreaming about you
over and over again
or that I can't face tomorrow without you
or that I will cease to exist without your smile?

Would you mind if I told you...

that this poem is about you,
even though we haven't met?
I walked outside and saw your face
your head was red like a beet
you had a hammer in your grasp
and I saw you stomping your feet

I watched you close for a minute or two
you really didn't look well
so I decided to do the right thing
to take off and run like hell

But unfortunately you were able to see me
you turned and took off like a shot
screaming like a banshee
your temper was really hot

I ran and ran until I fell
I think I even scraped my knee
Got back up and ran some more
Cause I didn't want you killing me

I ran all day and into the night
I didn't even stop to ***
Trying to figure out
Why you were chasing me

Something was off, this wasn't right
nothing was really like it seems
I heard your voice "wake up wake up"
I was having one of my crazy dreams
Notebooks scattered here and there
Broken pencils in cup holders
Empty energy drink cans on the floor
***** of paper strewn across the house
An open thesaurus on the kitchen counter
Instrumental music on loop playing
and the poet themself draped
over the couch cushions fast asleep
with all their clothes on...
once upon a time
there was a girl named Sue
I fell in love
with her glitter tattoo

it wasn't real
I knew it from the start
I didn't care
I just wanted her heart

so I went to the store
to find me a tat
all I could find
was a friggin' bat

so I spit in my hand
slapped it onto my chest
it looked pretty awesome
I never would've guessed

I got to her house
and knocked on the door
she jumped off the bed
her feet hit the floor

She got a look
at my new tattoo
then she whispered
"I love you"
