It's getting close to Christmas Day
A time of joy, a time of play
But all I want's to find a way
To spend the holiday with you.

No school today, I lay in bed
My love for you won't leave my head
My cheeks become a little red
From thoughts of cuddling with you.

At last, the special day is here
I wish I got you something, dear
But we've a better source of cheer
'Cause you have me, and I have you.

And even though you're really far
We're deep in love, I know we are
I look up at the shining stars
They're almost beautiful as you.
My first time playing around with meter, rhyme schemes, and stress patterns. This poem is fictional (sadly).

When I think of you, I feel spectacular.
Like just the mere thought of you is a talisman
That I hold dear in my heart
And nothing can knock me down.

When I look at you, I feel elated.
Your face, however much you may disagree
Is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
And nothing is more precious to me.

When I talk to you, I feel comforted.
The words we exchange remind me of
The unbreakable bond we have between us
And nothing can replace that.

My heart is pounding
Bursting with my love for you
I'll write a poem!

But my pen pauses
Suspended above the page
How can I convey...?

I turn my brain off.
It's time to let my heart speak.
My pen gets to work.

"Even though you're far
You're still much closer to me
Than anyone else.

I love you to bits.
I hope you'll remember that.
Do you feel the same?"

I close my notebook
Silently, I'm wondering:
Will my words reach him?
Six haikus to convey my love.

It's hard to believe this is all real.
How can I possibly explain how I feel?
I love you so much, I just want to shout!
But at the same time, the words won't come out.

You're always there to hear about my day.
You're always there to tell me it's okay.
You're always there whenever I'm down.
And you're always there to dispel my frown.

I know you may not think it's much.
But I certainly don't see it as such.
I appreciate it more than you may know.
And I never want to let you go.

How could I not love you after all you've done?
You're so sweet, kind, hilarious, and fun.
So I want to leave you with one undeniable fact.
I love you so much, Sunny. Always remember that.

You lay in your bed, weeping silently
Internally writhing in emotional agony
You get a new message, it's from me
Because I will never leave you be.

You awaken, your eyelids wanting to droop
The days can seem bland and repetitive, it's true
But I can break you free of this accursed loop
Because I'm here for you.

I stare at the door in ill-concealed anticipation
My family is perplexed as to why I'm so happy
You knock, and I fling the door open in elation
Because you're finally here with me.

The ink flows from the tip of your pen onto the paper below
Taking action, you transform thought and emotion into written word
Writing your way into my heart with naught but your own
Because you're a better writer than anyone I know.

I trudge through the day, each day. Each and every day is slow
Sometimes I wonder just how I find the strength to continue
But I remember that, at the end of my day, I can hear about yours
Because you're more interesting than anyone I know.

I attempt to speak, but my voice is drowned out by a wind that never ceases to blow
I have so much to give, I just know it! Why won't anyone listen to me?!
Then you're there, eager to hear every word that I have to say
Because you're sweeter than anyone I know.

I love you so much, I never want to let you go
It's an emotion more powerful than any that I've ever felt
All I want is to be in your arms, and be with you forever
Because I love you more than anyone I know.

It's cold in my room
I wish you were here with me
To help warm me up.

It's lonely at school
I wish you were here with me
To lift my spirits.

It's dark in my mind
I wish you were here with me
To brighten my day.
Haikus are fun.
