I like you;
Simple enough to say, but a feat only few dare take.
I’d rather jump off an airplane.
I’d rather climb Mt. Everest.
And I’d rather surf with Great White Sharks,
But then reality smacks me across my face.

No, this is not a poem.
It wasn’t written with the hand of Shakespeare,
Nor conceived from the mind of Socrates,
Or engineered by the algorithms of Einstein.
It’s something simple enough to say,
But in my case, it takes the discipline of a marine.

Point being, you make me stare off into your sunset hair.
Your laugh sparks flares that grow my smile,
And no matter what, you’re going to sit in front of me and there I go into wonderland.
It’s like the ticking on my watch,
No matter what, my watch is going to tick and then it’s going to tock,
And when my alarm rings, I’m going to open my jittery mouth.

That being said, a light bulb rose out of my hair.
Love was something you hated as I preached it before our seats.
I didn’t see you much then, but now you blind my eyes.
You break the shores of my dreams.
You sit on the lap of my thoughts.
And you dance on the edge of my eyes.

I don’t want to dress up words to make you swoon,
I want to make you smile when you gaze at stars.
Because, **** it girl, you’re the brightest star in my eyes.
No, I would only jump off a plane to land next to you,
I would only climb Mt. Everest to meet you at the top,
And I would only surf with Great Whites to…
So I like you, simple enough to say right?
