He Makes Me

He makes me want to paint my toes

Bright pink with glitter

He makes me want to cook

Pasta with cheese and hot links

He makes me want to eat

Chicken sandwiches with my doggy

He makes me want to listen

To Bahamadia and Talib

He makes me want to leave my friends

To see him standing there

He makes me want to kiss him

And let him read my mind

He makes me want to smile

When I usually would frown

He makes me want to stop smoking

And drink glasses of cold water

He makes me want to fall in love

When I thought love was lost…







…He makes me want to add to this poem

And keep it flowing

He makes me want to turn off my phone

And give him undivided attention

He makes me want to braid my hair

So he can see what his friends were talking about

He makes me want to stop going out

To be with him

He makes me want to keep my hands to myself

And be a lady

He makes me want to wait

Because patience is a virtue

He makes me feel like I can be me

No fronts, no hiding

He makes me think that this poem could go on and on

And on and on and on…
