The Three Words

Every time I see him,
the whole world stops
as I grin
He looks at me
as if I’m crazy,
But I look at him
As if he were my prince
One with gorgeous eyes
Who attracts all the girls
Leaving them breathless
I want to tell him
I love you
Always have, always will
But the thought of it makes me
Feel like a hundred degrees
We’ve been together since kindergarten
But we don’t have much in common
He likes football
I like reading
He likes ESPN
While I like The Age of Innocence
But it doesn’t matter
Because of his magnificence
And all I want to say to him is
I love you.
