I'd Say Yes

All I've ever known, up till now
Seems like nothing at all
Compared to you.

You tell me everything on your mind
And I just get lost in your words.
Watching your face-
Wondering how much more I can take

And I remember everything you say-
I know your voice by heart and ear;
I have every plane of your face memorized,
And I dream without sleeping
About you-

'Cause I've been
Waiting for the day
When you'd say,
"Hey-
You know,

You're smart and funny
And a good friend to me.
You're sweet and generous-
Pretty as can be.

And every day
Your beautiful smile
Just takes my breath away...
And I hope you know why I'm asking-
And I hope you feel the same- so
Will you be my girl?"

And I'd say Yes-
I'd say yes.


Some days I feel like
You're so far away-
Even when we're standing face to face.

You ask me why I'm so quiet today
And I don't even know what to say.

Sweet silence when we're not talking
Watching your eyes on mine.
Wishing you never looked away again-
Wishing you never walked away

And I've been
Waiting for the day
When you'd say,
"Hey-
You know,

You're smart and funny
And a good friend to me.
You're sweet and generous-
Pretty as can be.

And every day, your beautiful smile
Just takes my breath away...
And I hope you know why I'm asking-
And I hope you feel the same- so
Will you be my girl?"

And I'd say
Yes.


Oh
Bitter smiles
Faking happiness
For you
And her

Acting pleasant and polite
Around the happy couple-
The tears twisted from my heart
Falling freely
When I'm alone

Six months gone and I'm still dreaming-
Still waiting for that day
When you'll turn around and say,
"Hey-

I know you've been waiting for me all this time
And I'm sorry that I never got around to telling you
But

You're smart and funny-
You're an awesome friend to me;
So patiently waiting.

You're sweet and generous-
Pretty as can be-
But little do you know
How much you mean to me.

And every day-
Your beautiful smile
Just takes my breath away.

And I'm hoping it's not too late for us,
I'm hoping you won't say no-
Please don't slam a door in my face,
But give me your honest answer-
Will you be my girl?"

And I'd say
YES-

I'd say yes.

I categorized this as a free-verse poem, because that's what it's supposed to be, but it ended up sounding like a song in my head, so it's a mix of both... which is why it might sound kind of weird
