I don’t want to steal another’s words,
Though the sets I’d take exist in herds.
The songs of Herb Alpert simply explain,
The space you occupy within my brain.
The one by The White Stripes back in ‘03,
Remind me just how much you mean to me.
Like that one by Miike Snow, ‘Ghenghis Khan’,
Because, to me, you’re the only one.
America’s ‘Sister Golden Hair’,
A groove that I feel lays my soul bare.
That song by Elbow, sounds like ‘Hey Jude’,
‘Flowers’ by Sweet Female Attitude,
Those three songs from Gomez about love,
When they’re on, you’re all I’m thinking of.
‘Bad Poetry’ performed by Ben Lee
Should be clear enough, it is to me.
Scott Matthews said ‘Stay in Bed’,
You’ll never, ever, leave my head.
Tim Deluxe ‘It Just Won’t Do’,
Flight Facilities ‘Crave You’,
The Four Freshmen ‘It’s A Blue World’,
Sam Cooke ‘(What a)Wonderful World’.
Lastly, **** You’ by Garfunkel and Oates,
It’s funny and true, and I can’t rhyme with Oates…
I’ve collated all these songs into
A Spotify playlist, just for you.

If she says yes,
I'd feel so blessed.
I'll send her this poem,
Allow her to know 'em.
