Love Poem: Ode

Ode

When I’m staring at our picture
and your shining face 
is smiling back at me
it puts my mind at ease
I’m falling more in love with you
I find myself needing you more and more
You stole my heart
and I don’t want it back
because you’re the one I adore
There’s love in the desperation I feel
when school forces this separation on us
I live through the weeks
with hope in my heart
As I’m dreaming of that day
when we’re not apart
You’re such a pretty girl
I’m such a lucky guy
When I stare into your pretty blue eyes
I can see the love you feel for me
and I hope you can see it in mine
I love it when you smile
I love it when you make me smile
You make this life all worthwhile
Yeah
You make everything worthwhile
