Here it goes, again at last,
A letter for the girl, who makes me beat fast,
What letter would I pick, none other than you,
Tell me whatever, and that’s what I’ll do,
To win your heart, I’ll sacrifice and bleed,
It’ll be my goal, to fulfill your every need,
I’ll put in my best, but I’ll ask for the same,
We’ll try harder this time, and not point or blame,
Here it goes, again or so I hope,
Why is love, such a slippery *****,
You hurt me before, I did the same to you,
I pray we can start over, and begin anew,
Think about the joyful times, the ones without fear,
Think about the future, and paint it real clear,
I want us to have vision, of love and God,
But please don’t make me beg, or poke or ****,
I want to know, may I call you my dear,
Because I must know, Where do we go from here?

Every thought of a flock, every picture of a team,
Nothing ever has been as it looked or it seemed,
Looks are deceiving, intentions unknown,
Often I wonder who lives on the throne,
Of every persons heart, the seat made for God,
Where one can rule through staff and rod,
The gospel preaches to love your neighbor as thyself,
But often we put each other on a little shelf,
We write each other off and postpone the truth,
Scared of our past and the sins of our youth,
I tell you brothers do not be scared,
All of your transgressions should be shared,
With the ones you trust through hope and love,
And remember you are a child of the one up above.

Merry, merry Christmas, All the blessings poured unto you,
I wrote this to say the words I don’t,
because this is so new,
Hannah you are so beautiful, That you’d rival Aphrodite,
a gorgeous brain and personality, are signs that you are mighty,
You’re quiet and mysterious, yet so gentle and so kind,
I often think about you, and ponder with my mind,
Share with me your secrets, and all your mischievous schemes,  
What are your hobbies and interests, please tell me all your dreams,
the holidays are for happiness, family and true love,
you have no idea how much I’ve prayed, to the one that’s up above,
you ask what I want for Christmas, and all I can think is you,
I wish I had the nerve to say, you amaze me in all you do,
I’m terrible at texting, I know what a shame,
but I like you very much, and I hope you feel the same,
I’m quick to the finish, but I’m slow at the start,
so please show me the way, and the key to your heart.

Survival of the fittest, you’ve lasted another year,

A happy happy birthday, a wish you’ll likely hear,

I’m proud of your accomplishments, you shine like a star,

God loves and cherishes you, just the way you are,

But you continue to grow, and give praise to his name,

You inspire me greatly, to strive for the same,

I’ve known you forever, the time has flown by,

I have always strived to be called your guy,

Now that I’m close, I’m anxious and scared,

Because i know it’s in my head, the feelings are not shared,

You ran from my affection, to others you knew,

And left me unraveled, to obsess and to stew,

I’ve thought a bunch, but still not enough,

Sometimes I wish you would just give it to me rough,

Tell me no with conviction, say it with guile,

The hurt will sting, I’ll sulk for a while,

But understand, I’ll grow and adapt,

Never have I ever felt this trapped,

You make me feel alive, but also tiny and small,

I’ve tried my best, but I’ve stumbled to a stall,

When the poem is done, our friendship will end,

I wish you the best, but I can’t just be your friend.
