He asks me
To write some lines
Of love for him to read
For the pocket in his jacket

I smile
And grab paper
But when I hold the pen
I'm at a loss

I love how you can communicate a complex relationship so completely in just a few words. Good job.

Oh, wow. This is one of the most beautiful poems I've ever read. I love it so much. The way you said so much in so little, it just hits you. So powerful. Definitely going on my favorites list!
