Love this girl, is what I said, just gazing, that’s where my soul lays <br />One day want to make breakfast for her, omelet or a soufflé <br />Is it true? Does love bring pain? Do men who cheat are men who have game? <br />I wonder if I could take it, could I take such a strain that love bring to the brain? <br />A stain in my life that will refuse to be removed, stuck like glue <br />Smile curls from her when I see her, shocked and gasped like I had the flu <br />She smiles and waves at me, I can’t simply walk up to her and say “I love you” <br />Can’t beg her to date me or sing the blues, wish I was rich and had jewels <br />Girls seem to be attracted to that, that’s just shady, but you can hardly blame me <br />She not like that though, as the wind blows, and as the lovely flowers bloom <br />Nothing can stop me from not loving her hair flow, but friends say love brings doom <br />They all had girlfriends and they left them for the next man, they could hardly consume <br />I am determined, I know they wrong, believe me my love strong and consistent <br />I know her she is kind and lovely, when I pop the question I know she will listen <br />Nothing shall cloud this, not noisy friends, jealous men, or rainy clouds in the mist and.... <br />I am shy though, what if she said no? Or worse blows me off? Am I worthy? <br />Maybe she will say no, if she said no, I wouldn’t push it more further…see <br />Although she means a lot I only want to see her happy, even if it’s not with me <br />Still I got to ask, got to stop contemplating, couldn’t do it today with these smeared shoes <br />Just got to gaze, perhaps chat while I watch her smile….at a rear view<br /><br />Leland Wright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-at-a-rear-view/
