YOU
---

my love !

I just want to ask you if it would be alright

With you if I were to address a love poem to you

And submit it to hello poetry

//

I 'll say very little about you ( don't worry ! )

and the poem will be mostly about me

And the wondrous feelings of love I have for you

( though , of course , I will probably -- For honesty 's sake --

Have to mention how I much pain you have cause me

By forcing me to be jealous concerning

The ***** who keeps trying to steal you from me )


I just want my fellow poets to know me completely

And since you are the most important thing

In life to me

If not the only real thing in my life

I would like to do this

And I hope you won't mind

Now

I know how much you respect your privacy

So I won't address a poem to you

Without your permission

I think you might consider a poem

Written like this about someone

To be rude and disrespectful

And you are probably right

But love is a give and take

And I do so crave the praise of my

Fellow poets

So I can only beg you to allow me

This opportunity

Thank you

Yours truly

ME
