Hear me
read
the poem as
an MP3 file.
Watch me
read
the poem as
an MP4 file.
I want to make your heart beat
just for me.
I want a true love in my lonely life.
I've looked a long time, dated many men,
But none I walked with walked in step with
me.
We walk together well, the best of friends.
Somehow we just fit, as if clean cut
To go together, zigzags complementary.
But now I would be something more than friends.
I know I take a chance to mention love.
I've no idea what feeling's in your heart.
But if you'd catch a burning, plunging star,
I know I'd make you happy for your love.
