A Poem for You

He was just a stranger,
But I thought he was divine.
The thought had never crossed my mind,
That someday he’d be mine.

For months I’ve felt this feeling,
A feeling full of bliss.
And every time my stomach leaps,
When he leans in and we kiss.

When I’m away its hard,
Not to be there in his embrace.
But he’s always there in my dreams,
I cant forget that face.

Just to kiss those tender lips,
Run my fingers through your hair.
But when my eyes are open,
I realise that you’re not there.

I thought it would get easy,
Id keep busy and occupied.
But it seems to be, no matter what,
You’re always on my mind.

I love you more than anything,
Yes, that much is true.
You mean the whole world to me,
And no-one can replace you.

Theres nothing I want more,
Than to spend my life with you.
But that’s only if you’ll have me,
To hold in your arms too.

Men

I used to think that men were the unknown, a total mystery,
I knew nothing about them, or why they might like me.
I went to an all girls school, so meeting guys was rare,
And when I did, there was no response, like I wasn’t even there.

When I went on my first date, I didn’t have a clue,
I don’t remember anything good, I had no idea what to do.
My first boyfriend was from Birmingham, he said his name was Mat,
And when I wouldn’t ‘put out’, I discovered he was a prat.

When I got older, and joined a band, I met a guy called Chris,
He treated me like crap, something I’ll really never miss.
I met a guy named Paul, he was always very kind,
But as much as he was there for me, he never blew my mind.

When I rebelled against my mum, I met a guy named Dave,
But just the same as one and two, he didn’t know how to behave.
I spent a while on my own, and then got back with Paul,
But although we were amazing friends, it wasn’t right at all.

When I came to Birmingham, there was someone on my mind,
Someone back in Bristol who I’d had to leave behind.
He told me that he liked me, I said I liked him too,
We talked online for months, and our feelings slowly grew.

We thought it wouldn’t work out, the distance was too long,
I tried to take my mind off him, my feelings were too strong.
Although I couldn’t forget that guy, I saw a guy named Jim,
But even when we were together, I couldn’t forget about him.

Now we are together, and its as perfect as can be,
The times we share are special, and he makes me so happy.
I don’t know how this happened, I never thought it would,
But finally things are working out, just the way they should.

These poems are both essentially written about the same guy who I was with for two and a half years.
