If you knew my girl
you’d never have to
fake a smile.
If you heard her speak
you’d swear she was singing
a hymn.
If you watched
her dance you’d forget
to blink.
Just reading a poem
about her might make
you swoon.
If you knew my girl
you would fall and
never land.
I still can’t land

Daydreaming and then, maybe, writing a poem about it. And that's my life.

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so that is one lucky gal… sooo romantic. I’m very grateful to this unknown person, since we get to benefit. I just wish she would get you to write more poetry. ;)) 😏🙏😁🎶
I see what you mean and I tend to agree. But anybody who thinks beauty is in the eye of the beholder doesn’t know this girl! 😉 Just kidding (not kidding, though, too; not kidding at all). You’re sweet to write this; I’ll make sure she knows. Thanks as always for the support. It truly means a lot, a lot!
Aww that is so lovely on all counts!! And likewise, regarding the support. :)) I always feel honoured that you read mine. Just keep the poems rolling! :))
Thanks again! You do the same!
This is so beautiful! I love the way you wrote it, and the last line is perfect. Amazing job 👏
Thanks. Thanks. Have a great rest of your day!
You too!

What an amazing feeling to have when in love . 😇
Beautiful work Benjamin!
Thanks. This is a good feeling. Something to hold onto for life, I think. Moments should be cherished and the feelings they create.
Beautiful 👌🏾
Thanks!
A pleasure
Aw Heartfelt – and your girl is very lucky! 😀
No, I’m really the lucky one. 🙂 That’s the honest truth. But perhaps there is a hint of twinned luckiness, which is special to find. Have a great start to your week!
I think that’s it – ‘twinned luckiness’. 😀
Have a good week too 🙂
That last line. Oomph… totally made this perfect.
Thanks, Tara, for reading and commenting!
Love this one. Great ending!
Thanks. That means a lot. You know I’ve always admired your style! “The Dweller” always stays with me.
Beautiful and so profound! Being in love is truly a joy. Such a romantic post, I bet she loved it! You did a great job with this.
Thanks. What a lovely comment! She did approve 🙂
The ending is sad. Hope she understands your feelings.
You’re right. it could be sad in a way. I never thought of it fully this way. But it could be exactly that. When you love someone too much you open yourself up for the chance of sadness and getting hurt. But, I think she understands my feelings 🙂
Glad it is not the way I took it. 🙂
Well this can impress anyone.. Lovely poem..
Thanks sincerely!
