This One is for YOU
This poem is
For you
Yes you
The one reading aloud
Or in your head
It doesn’t really matter
Just so long
As you’re awake
I hope you know
How much you mean
To someone who loves
You like everything
That is real
Like rain
And skyline
And heartbeat
I hope you see
All the things
That mean the most
To you
Like mountains
And planets
And love
I hope you feel
The feelings you’ve
Heard about
Read about
And wondered about
Like jealousy
And pride
And sorrow
Those weren’t the ones you imagined
I would hope you would feel
But they are real
And therefore, you should feel them
I hope you say
The words that your mouth loves
Like particular
And scrumptious
And all things true
I hope you read
Books upon books
Stories upon stories
Sonnets upon sonnets
Plays upon plays
Ballads upon ballads
Poems upon poems
But remember that this
Particular one
Is for you
