I wrote this poem in 2012. I was inspired by a book with poems written by teenagers.
I want you to know that I love you
Te amo, I could say it like that too
That 4-letter word must be why I write my feelings on this page
And surely not because of the 4-letter word, rage
You hold a special place in my heart
I want to lock you in that part
Then I’d throw away the key
Because that’s where I want you to be
I want to have your last name, so you’ll be a part of me
I think that’s how it should be
I want you to be mine
Boy, you’re worth all my time
I’m already all yours
I want to be your first
Because of you I’ve had the best feeling of my life
Maybe one day I’ll become your wife
I might have messed up the last time
And the fault might be all mine
So I guess I am to blame
But I’m willing to make it better and start over with you again
Lessons have been learned and memories made
The memory of us meeting will never fade
You’re sweet, caring, funny
Respectful, gentle and cute as a bunny
It’s been 17 months and I haven’t gotten over you
Being with you might be the best thing to do
If loving you could kill, I’d be dead
But I’d rather kiss you, hug you and hang out with you instead
