Who Are You? - 08.19.09

I write this poem, I write it brand new,

I'm writing this poem all for you.

Sixteen and confused, full of wonder am I,

Wishing to know who you are, I heave a great sigh.

Will you have blue eyes or brown?

Red, blond, or brunette atop your crown?

Speaking with a whisper as calm as the nights sky,

Or are you rather a loud and spontaneous guy?

I will love you forever, will you love me too?

Be loyal, kind, sweet, and true?

When I'm sad and upset, will you hold me when I cry?

Will you take care of our family, help us get by?

Do I already know you and all that you do?

I have just one more question... who are you?

Over and Over - 06.20.09

Over and over, playin' over and over,

Can't get it out of my head,

Now it's playin' again,

Haven't heard it in awhile,

How long has it been?

Over and over, playin' over and over,

I used to sing it back then,

As I stood by your side,

You said that you loved me,

Promise me you never lied.

Over and over, playin' over and over,

You and I there,

Us walkin' down the street,

We looked so nice,

You smelled so sweet.

Over and over, playin' over and over,

Passin' by that record store,

Thrilled to hold your hand,

Next thing I was being twirled around,

Us dancin' there to that band.

Over and over, playin' over and over,

It became our song,

'Til the end it defined us,

Playin' in my head,

Sometimes I think it still does.

Over and over, playin' over and over,

Can't get it out of my head,

Now it's playin' again,

Haven't heard it in awhile,

How long has it been?

Over and over, playin' over and over.

"Love Me" - 05.20.09

A little girl only in the third grade,

Sittin next to that boy she had it made.

Hopin that maybe he's the one to be,

Beggin him in her heart, "Love Me"

It's sixth grade now and junior high,

It's hard to talk to him but she will try.

Hopin that maybe he's the one to be,

Beggin him in her heart, "Love Me"

High school comin, it's freshman year,

First broken heart, a fallin tear.

Hoped that he was the one to be,

Beggin him now please don't, "Love Me"

Another year older, just a sophomore,

She was lovin him to her core.

Hopin that maybe he's the one to be,

Beggin him in her heart, "Love Me"
Junior and senior years passin by fast,
Goin on dates with him havin a blast.

Hopin that maybe he's the one to be,

Beggin him in her heart, "Love Me"

In college at last, finding who she will be,

He's taken her heart, she gave the key.

Hopin that maybe he's the one to be,

Beggin him in her heart, "Love Me"

Found him now, she's happy as ever,

Promising him always and forever.

Knowing that he is the one to be,

Beggin her with his heart, "Love Me"
