The Things I Love About You

By Cinara

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The Things I Love About you Never a spectacle, never a show Small simple pleasures wherever we go We stop for a sunset, forgetting our srife And pass by the major attractions in life A coke and a sandwich to carry us through These are the things that I love about you A candle-lit meal on a dock by the lake A hand written card with a crossed out mistake A birthday rendition on your old guitar Beats the greatest symphonic performance by far A small weathered vase of forget-me-not blue These are the things that I love about you Getting prepared for a great interview Going to bed early, then talking til two A scheduled appointment you don’t want to miss In the driveway you stop for a five minute kiss While the kids in the window are waving to you These are small pleasures known only to few If you were a millionaire with just one wish You’d trade it all in for that getaway fish A local bred boy without fortune or fame But down at the diner they all know your name And you treat that old chef like his blood was pure blue And that is the thing I love most about you A dance in the kitchen, the red, white and blue Honesty, honor, the essence of you Written March 10th, 2002 © on Mar 10 2002 07:11 AM PST   0 • 8
