I don't love everything about you.

If I said I did, I would be dishonest.

I don't love the way you hold yourself too arrogantly sometimes

I don't love the way you can be too mean with your jokes,
even though you don't mean them seriously.

I don't love how your sense of humor gets too weird sometimes

I don't love how you just love talking about yourself

I don't love how you can seem so cold and how
you can so easily ignore me to the point of madness.

But I will tell you this.

I do love the way you flash your imperfect teeth into a warm smile
whenever you see me.

I do love your stupid laugh, because it makes me laugh even more
than the joke itself.

I do love the way you talk about your dreams and your views and the world.

I do love how you can surprise me with kindness and attention
when I least expect it.

And most of all, I love how you can make me feel everything
no one else ever could.

And that is why the reasons that I love you
are all so much more important than the reasons why I don't.

Poor girl.
In love with Poet.

Poet and man; angry at times;
Firing insults you can't

Possibly
Counter.

Beating you black and blue
With flowers
And feathers.

Poor girl.
Loved by Poet.

Loved and held closest;
First to fall victim

To every sudden movement
In matters of hearts
And hands.

it's three in the morning and my thoughts are a blur
i wish i could say that your eyes aren't on my mind
but they are
they always will be.
whether i'm at the park under my favorite tree
or in the library
you'll always be there
flooding my thoughts
reminding me of all the reason why i don't just run away
like i always seem to end up doing.
it's easiest that way.
having nothing to hold on to
makes it easier for when you have to let go
and that's all i've ever had to do.
let go
always letting go

How can I forget you when I gaze up at the starry night and stare right into your eyes?
How can I forget you when I'm so used to your presence in the mornings that I subconsciously make enough coffee for two?
How can I forget you when the bed has gotten too big for me alone and your side of it has gotten cold?
How can I forget you when all my poems were inspired by you?
How can I forget you when I'm the one that has to turn off the lights before going to bed ever since?
How can I forget you when I'm so used to hearing those sweet, three words every day?
How can I forget you when you've carved your name in my heart so deep I doubt will heal completely?
How can I forget you when you bring out my true self?
How can I forget you I'm so dull without you?
How can I forget you when our song hits the radio every time I get into my car and there's no one to sing along with?
You ask me to forget you, but tell me, how can I?
