Baby this poem is just for you

I wish I could connect the words
with the way I'm feeling right now
I wish I could write you a poem
about everything you make me see
you open my eyes you give me light
you make me want to cry
in a good way
for once in my life

i could start this off
with a few lines
filled with sex, passion, and lust
write about how much
i would just love to take you
underneath this desk im typing this on
and rock your world
but im not,
because i would just be writing
another sex crazed poem
and you're so much more than that to me

i could write you a poem
that i've spent some time on
but i think the most honest emotions
are when they are at the rawest
when they burst from my heart
and onto my keyboard
filled with hope, dreams, desires
of what we could be together
as one
so i'll freestyle this

i could write you a poem that rhymed
wouldn't that be sublime?
to woo you with my nursery rhymes?
how you would laugh and giggle
as i give your heart a tickle
but eck,
i hate rhyming
so forget that

i could try to make this poem deep and meaningful
sit upon a high horse
as i write down emotions
that i think i can only understand and feel
but quite honestly im not that deep of a person
i'm an average Joe
I wake up in the morning
with an expression on my face
of "What the f!ck is going on?"
And quite honestly I don't go to bed thinking of you
and wake up thinking of you too
but I do think about you the rest of the day
if that's worth anything

maybe i'll write you a poem with some form to it
orgranized and very precise
but
then
       again
i could
       never sit
still
in kindergarten
so,,,,,
for get
that

i wish i had the words
that could connect with the way you make me feel
but i guess that's why i write
because that's the only way I have of thanking you
for all the joy you have brought into my life
I may never find the words to tell you
how much I do love you
...but I do.
and baby this poem is just for you.
