Two Days

Two Days

It took
Two days
Two days to
Figure out
I love you

At first
I wasn’t
Sure

Scared
Yes
Afraid
Definitely

I was scared
Because
This happened
Once before

It’s hard to
Commit
Because of
That
And the past

I was afraid
Because
I was
Unsure
Of what you
Would say

You mean
A lot to
Me
The world to
Me

I want you
By my side
Even when
You’re not

You complete
My sentences
Know what
What I’m thinking

And gosh
You’re adorable
And you
Make me
Happy

Two days
Two days I thought
Hard and long
To realize
What I knew
Already
All along

I love you

For You

For You

This is for you
And it’s everything I do
I want you to notice
That I’m here
Even when I’m not near

This is for you
Cause I’m in love
In love with you
Even when some days
I think we’re through

This is for you
When I hold your hand
It’s my two feet
That I stand
Beside you
Until the last day is through

This is for you
And all I can give
You’re the reason
Why I live
And when I sleep
It’s you
Who I want next to me
Next to me
Is where I want you to be

This is for you
I wish for you
Wish for you to be by my side
Because tomorrow
I’m going to ask you
To be my bride

I just hope
That you’re for me
Because I’m for you
And that’s all I can do

Hold My Hand

Hold My Hand

Can you
Hold my hand
And not let go

See
I like you
I don’t usually
Hold a girl’s hand
That I don’t like

Let me put my
Hand
On your leg
The fabric of
The jeans
Feels nice

Or can we get a little closer
So I can put my
Arm around you
You can put your
Head on my shoulder

We could cuddle
You and me
A big bed
With warm blankets
Get closer together

But first
Can you please
Hold my hand?

More Than Words

More Than Words

Here’s what I mean to you
Sometimes the words I write won’t do
But it’s hard always to explain myself
Because all these feelings are true
The feelings that I feel for you

But words don’t always fill the void
And these feelings for you are impossible to avoid
But words only mean so much

Life can only be explained to a certain point
And with words I would never disappoint

But what really is a word really worth
Especially when you want to tell someone who’s down to earth
About how you feel
Because these words they mean the world to you

And these times words just won’t do
Because these times your worth more than these words could ever do

A Second That Lasts A Lifetime

A Second That Lasts a Lifetime

The seconds that last a lifetime
Are the seconds I spend with you
And it’s all the seconds added up
That makes the lifetime

A second that lasts a lifetime
Is when I’m holding you tight
And I feel as if nothing could happen
To either of us as long as you’re in my arms

A second that lasts a lifetime
Is doing the little things that count
Even though they go unnoticed
They are all full of meaning

A second that lasts a lifetime
Is when I gaze into your eyes
And see everything I am
And everything I want to be

A second that lasts a lifetime
Is right before my hand lets go of yours
As we depart for the day
Only to see each other soon again

So a second that lasts a lifetime
Is right here and right now
And as each second of this lifetime passes
I’m glad these seconds were spent with you

Contagious

Contagious

I’m contagious
To you
Your touch
Your smell
I’m contagious
Contagious
To you

Quickly falling
Head over heels
In love
With you

You can’t
Cure me
Couldn’t even if
You tried
I don’t want to
Be cured
Either

I’m contagious
Contagious
Contagiously
In love
With you

Reborn

Reborn

I am reborn
In the night
Lying
Next to her
A late night
And she’s still
Here
Thankful

I like her
Love her
Want her
Need her

Going to sleep
Holding her
Tight
In the morning
I am reborn
With a new feeling
A good feeling
One
I have not felt
In a while

It feels good
To be good
And for once
To be happy
Happy with myself
With you
With everyone
Everything

For once
I feel
I am
In love
I am
Reborn

Good Morning Sunshine

Good Morning Sunshine

I can’t write this morning
I can’t write
You anything
Not here
Not right now

Carefully focusing
All my attention
On you
While you sleep
Waiting anxiously
For you to wake up

So I can say,
“Good morning sunshine”
And kiss you
On your cheek

You’re cute
And adorable
Even with messy
Hair in the morning
What I like
What I want best
In you
Out of you

But right now
You’re in my head
Too much
So much
That I can’t
Put sentences
Let alone
Words together
A poet without a poem

I’m speechless
And the more I
Try
The more I
Fail

So I’ll just
Be quiet
Not think
And carefully
Watch
What I think
Is the most
Beautiful
Thing

Laying
Right next to
Me

Pick Me Up

Pick Me Up

It’s the nights
The lonely nights
That I sleep alone
Without
You
Next to me
I realize
I never want you to
Leave my side

I go to bed in
Thought
Sometimes sleeping
Sometimes not
But always thinking
About you
About us
What we want
Just childish thoughts
And ideas
But secretly
Hoping you
Hoping I
Want the same thing

Truth is
I do
I’ll always
Want you
As long as you
Still want me

I can’t help now
But look in your eyes
And fall in love
Again
Goosebumps
And butterflies
Just how I imagined it
Imagined you
Even though
It took
A little while
To get you
To get this
But I’m happy
Now
With that

Now I’ve got you
And I don’t
Want to
Let you go

And I think you
Should be treated
Rightfully so
And for the first
Time I believe
In me
In you
In this
Us
Something
I swore
I’d never let
Anyone in
Ever again

But
Somehow
Someway
You came in
Broke down
Every wall
Even the ones
That stood tall
And proved to me
There was a reason
For this
You and me
That’s what you
Wanted me to see

That I could forget
The past
And learn to live
Live again
And most importantly
Love
Love again

But not just
Anyone

You
Love you
Right now
That’s all I want
To do
Treat you right
Always there
To take care
And be there

So
I hope
That’s ok
Because I know
Where I want
To stay
And what’s important
With these things
I have to say
To you
For this
About us

And thanks
For
Being that girl
A lady
Truly
Something
Someone
Special
To come
Here
Love me
And
Pick me up

Yours To Keep

Yours To Keep

This is my heart
It's yours to keep
during the day
Or when you sleep
You can keep it in your pocket
Or in a locket
Around your neck
And close to your heart
Because I know you're smart

My heart is
Everything of me
It's what I wanted
You to see

I promise to be there
And show you
That I care

It's Yours to hold tight
But don't let go at night

I trust my heart
With you
Because you always make
Me feel new

So please
Take this heart
My heart
Because there's
One thing
I always want
You to know

And that's
Kelly,

I love you so

Weekend Rides

Weekend Rides

The weekends
I can get
Lost for free
Well not
Completely

But
Sometimes
I like to
Think
Because
It’s far
More worth
It
Than on the
Week days

Before
Her
I used to
Get lost
On weekends
With women
Well…
I sometimes
Just dreamed
That
Never really
Did
Anything
Of that sort

Today
Now
It’s
Friday
Time to get
Ready
For something

With a girl
I’m in love
With
But I don’t
Do it for
Free
The bars
I mean
Because
Well…
Just because

That
Could be
A nuclear
Mistake
On most
Kind of
Nights

Even on
The weekends

I’ll still
Drink
Sometimes
But not
All the time

But eventually
Switch to
Tea
Because it’s
Better for
Me

But afterward
I sleep
For real
Not like before
Where sleep
Was a dream
And it would
Seem
Until

The alarm
Clock
Went off
And my eyes
Still staring
At my empty
Wall
Just bloodshot
From the
Alcohol
And lack
Of sleep
From the
Weekend

On a
Monday
Morning

No
Not a
Style
To
Pretend
Is good

I’ll focus
And stress
Myself
On paint
Or a pen
With a sheet
Of paper
To write
You something
Sweet

Good night
Only a drink
Deep
But it’s time
For myself
To sleep
With a girl
One I can
Call my
Own
For once
For always

Firecracker

Firecracker

Burning
In the sky
At night
So high
So bright

A
Firecracker
Waiting
To go off

On a hot
Sticky
Evening
In the middle
Of July

Lightning bugs
Flying
Around
Shootings stars
Kids
Will chase
After

A match
Strikes
To be lit
And the fuse
Slowly
Sizzling

As the kids
Grow quiet
For all that
Awaits
Them
In the evening
Sky

The fuse
Inside
Now
A firecracker
Waiting
To blow
One
Two
Seconds
Pass

Up
In the air
Faster
Than you
Can blink
Or see

A fire fly
A shooting star
Straight up
In the sky

Before
Pausing
Nothing
Wait
Something

Explosion
Of light
In the night
Lighting up
The sky
Like nothing
Kids could
Ever
Imagine
Or dream

A firecracker
My firecracker
A heart
My heart
Just went up
In the sky

And exploded
Showing
You red
And other colors
Only
To you
To your
Eye
But to show
Everything
I am

This
What just
Happened
Only
Happens
Once

And
It just happened
For you

Capturing

Capturing

Mentally capturing
You
While
You sleep
And sleep deep
In dreams
Thoughts
And ideas
Of things
I’ll never know
And of things
You’ll forget
When you wake

But while you
Sleep
I stay
Awake
Secretly

And with two
Hands
I imagine
Myself
A movie
Director
Capturing
The moment
Of you sleeping
Dreaming

Two hands
One holds
The camera
While the
Other winds
To capture
The moment

Everything
From
The
Peacefulness
Of life
That is
Instilled
In you in
To
Every breath
And
The smile
You carry
On your
Face
While you
Dream
Like you
Don’t have a
Care in your
World

All of this
Is captured
By my imaginary
Camera
Each night
While I
Silently
Fall
Asleep
Next to
You

With A Smile

With A Smile

Very good
The coffee she drinks
Sweet
Just like her kiss
But only
On a hot afternoon
In the sun
Instead of
The cold and
Snowy
Afternoon
I’m currently
Sitting in

Spoons
That bend
In the light
Or just the
Band
I listen to
When Ryan Adams
Doesn’t fit
The bill

On some days
The not so
Kind things
Happen
And take place
Unforgiving
Sometimes

Always
Laughing
About it later
(Most of the
time)

But at the
End of
These days
Always
Always
Always
A pretty
Lady
Waiting for me
With a kiss
And
With a
Smile

Hello

Hello

From the first time

I saw you

That’s when I knew

I was right for you

You had me at hello

I was in love

From the first time

Our eyes met

As you whispered

In my ear

This isn’t even the best yet

I pulled you

In close

To kiss you

That’s what I like most

But you’re perfect

Adorable

And cute

Pulling away from

The kiss

I stand mute

Lost in the moment

Lost in time

Lost in your eyes

Because I know you’re mine

Kissing you on your

Cheek

I go to whisper

In your ear

Saying dear:

Please always stay near

And don’t go far

Because this much I know

I’m falling for you

Please catch me

Because you had me at hello

You And Me

You And Me

Lovely
I love you
This morning
I’m waking up
Next to a lady
But not any lady
Oh no
And as I wake up
I wake up
Next to something
Anything
I wish I could
Be

Perfection and
Beauty
I rub my eyes
As the grogginess
Sets in
From staying up
All night
Just to watch you sleep
Watching your chest rise
And fall
With every heartbeat

I think
To myself
Late as it is
At night
How amazing
Of a girl
With such
A perfect heart
Could
There be
And the fact
That
She’s with me

I pinch myself
Because
What did
I do
To get a
Heart
So gentle and loving

It was a mirage
Before
But now real
Picture perfect
Better than that

I tell her
I like her
Love her
Appreciate her
She knows

Sometimes
I wish there
Was more to say
Other than the blank
Stares
I can only muster up
While looking
At her
Shocked and in awe
In what I found
Her
But more so
What she’s found
In me
Things I thought
I would never see
Things that weren’t there
To the naked eye

Gosh she’s beautiful
But in even
In the plainest sense
Wrapped up
In those sheets
Late at night
While I watch
Her sleep

And the rest
Of the world sleeps
Dreamland
But I don’t
I stay up
All night
Fighting the good
Fight

Watching her
Getting lost in
Forever
Forever what I hope
This
May be
You and me

Cupcake Love

Cupcake Love

PBR
A twelve pack
And some Call of Duty
There are cupcakes
Made for me

By a lovely girl
Don’t lie
Because I’ll cry

And chips
N’ salsa
On the washer

Please don’t get
Soapy
On me

Stay clean
Stay clear
Stay near

And always
Beside me
