Old Hands, Still Held

I fall in love with you everyday,

every minute, in every way.

The tears you cry, every lullaby,

I will always be nearby.

Hold me tight or push me away,

I'll forever be here to stay.

Say my name or just lend a smile,

I'll put my arms around you awhile.

This is the part where I blow up your phone.

This is the part when you don't sleep alone.

This is the part where we feel the same.

This is the part when I'll give my name.

Sit with me and let's dream for now.

Don't worry about when or how.

Sit with me and give me your hand.

Little moments no one has planned.

Don't forget all the butterflies,

tickle fights, and colorful skies.

Don't forget all the dreams we see.

Walk with me to eternity.

This is the moment we're longing for.

Curled up and in need no more.

This is the moment we fall apart

and come together with a perfect heart.

If you cry, I'll kiss your tears,

hold your hands. In many years,

when we are old and always cold,

I'll be the fire that you can hold.

Let me sing you soft to bed.

Let me kiss your perfect head.

Let me fit you like a glove,

and let me be the one you love.

If you forget everything,

if you misplace every ring,

if you can no longer sing,

let me be your tire swing.

I don't have much I can give,

but I can choose to always live

and always try to make you cry

so I can kiss your tears goodbye.

I'll try to be the perfect guy :)

I'm sure she liked it. :) It's very cute and sweet and I especially liked the line, "let me be your tire swing".

thanks smiley face :) i was wondering if people would understand what i meant by that line

[guy drori]

Great rhyming I can tell you that? Gave the poem an excellent flow. Surely this was a love poem from what I could tell. The man in this poem is obviously deeply inlove. I like how you put a smiley face after the last line. It makes what he says before - 'i"ll try to be the perfect guy" - sound very innocent and good. But you can never be the perfect guy even if you try. But again=- the smiley face grants a sense of innocence.

A amazing poem for love my friend.
"I don't have much I can give,
but I can choose to always live
and always try to make you cry
so I can kiss your tears goodbye."

Wow. This is a really good poem. It is simple when it comes to language while the words hold so much gravity. It's brimming with beautiful feelings of love and affection. Great work, Dante! :)
