Your smile keeps me up at night
Your eyes make mine light up and
I get lost in time thinking about you,
Where have you been all my life?
My homework doesn’t matter in comparison,
The essay will be finished later.
The poem will end soon
I will start the math assignment eventually.
But your face is here now
And soon it will leave
So I stare
If even writing
Takes a back seat to you
Wow...
You are the first person I’ve written about like this.
I wish you were all of my firsts.
Maybe you will be at least one of them...
I want to protect you,
I never want you to cry again.
I know I can’t make that happen
But I want to.
