I could be corny

and tell you that I’m lost in your love

that when you look at me

I melt into a puddle

you make my heart go pitter-patter

and when you’re with me

all i see are rainbows and butterflies

but that ain’t me

I could be foul

and tell you that I really don’t like you

that it’s all just some sexual feeling

in my nether-regions crying out for attention

that you can give

and when you give it, I’ll throw you away

like Germantown trash

but that aint true

and that aint me.

I could be silly

and write notes asking

do you like me circle

yes or no

when you come around

I could blush and whisper

and giggle with my girlfriends

write my first name with your

last and picture our children

but that ain’t me

The only way I can be is

the way I have always been

straghtfoward and honest

here goes:

I love you

You are the only one that I will

ever love and maybe you make

rivers flow in the part of me

that’s been long dry, but most

of these feelings are pounding

in my heart.

I Love you!

No butterflies and rainbows

No foulness or silly

childish fantacies
