Love Poem: Girlie

Girlie

I try too hard sometimes,
I realize this.
I drove all the way to my
Girlfriend’s place of work
To tell her I had texted her
A new poem, but to not
Read the first one because
I edited it. So I sent her
The revised one. I was
So excited to share what
I had written, so excited
To share the right one.

More important things
Can be found in life. More
Important things should
Hold my attention. Maybe
There are more important
Things, but the most
Important thing to me is
Getting to see the girl I’m
Falling more and more in
Love with. And I cannot
Wait to show her this
Someday. I cannot wait.

Not soon enough. My
Excitement may get the
Better of me, she may see
This soon. So, a message:
I hope that, forever, I will
Keep a smile on your face,
And that even in my, say,
Bothersome times, I will
Still make evident the best
In my intentions, and I 
Never want you to leave
My side, girlie.
