Why is the grass greener in your back yard

Playing is more fun when your around

I close my eyes and I am there

Close yours too and join me if you dare

Why is your candy sweeter than mine

Spare me one lick of your juicy pop

Then maybe I can figure out the secret ingredient

Then maybe I can win your heart

Why do your flowers aroma hold all the grace

Perfect petals, perfectly placed

Bring me pretty colors, just a few, not a lot

He loves me, he loves me not

Read the rest of the poem Show less

Why is your laugh contagious?

Is it the happiness you bring to others

Or maybe it's your magic powers

Either way I’m laughing giggles right on que, right with you

Sometimes I feel like you are going to disappear

Make it as though you were never here

Erase each footprint you left behind

Fly away, just to fly

Well I can be free, free like you

Give me a chance and I will fly to you

If you run, I’ll follow and I’ll keep up too

Either way, if you leave, I’m coming with you

Have you noticed a pattern here

Maybe I’ve been too subtle my dear

What it is that I am trying to translate to you

Is that you are my love, and in following that logic, I love you
