St. Valentine's Day poem for my mate
10 years ago
This might sound a bit cheche,
but sometimes cleche's fine.
and so I write this little thing
for my darling valentine.
I sit here now up in your room,
watching you play your game.
you maybe thing I'm bored because
it seems like all the same.
But as I watch, I see in you
the thing I so adore.
a passion deep within your heart,
that makes me want you more.
When you speak of bugs or games,
I often don't know what you mean.
I listen, smile, nod my head,
because I see this lovely gleam
of love for things that others won't
admit that they can hold;
it drew me in from that first week,
and since then I've been sold.
In these short months, I've shared with you,
something that I find strange.
A calm sense of stability;
a more than welcome change.
It took some time to settle in,
(more used to LDR),
but since I've gotten used to it
I can't stand being far.
Maybe it's just too corny,
to play around with words.
Maybe this is just an art,
for quirky little nerds.
I think I like to write for you,
creating something new,
a bit of creativity
to share between us two.
All that I want to say to you,
can't fit upon this page,
but I'm sure there'll be pleanty more,
as we increase in age.
I hope this says "I Love you"
as verbose as it can be,
and that we'll share more valentines,
in awkward harmony.
but sometimes cleche's fine.
