I'd hold you in my arms and protect you every day in life and you'll stay safe and warm in my beating heart smiling away feeling true love touching your heart every day.

The man
who kept
his emotions
at bay
drowned
in them
all
one
winters
day

I write this poem
Because I have a question
A question I have been wanting to ask you
From the day that I met you

We talked and talked
Shared songs
Spoke about jobs
Read poems
Talked about school

We spoke with each other
Through messages
So I never got to know your voice
Your way of talking

You might see where I am going
So I'll ask it directly
Will you meet me
Over a cup of coffee?
