It was a sunny day in may
But all I saw was death and decay
'till you found me alone on the walk
Writing down words, drawing with chalk
I thought that it was unmistakable
That I found you beautiful
A little to late in life, always afraid
I never learned to serenade
Your lips then softly touched my cheek
And I felt weak
Upon intent to pursue
I warned him not to hurt you
Tried to help him win your heart
Because I thought you would depart
And I found it beautiful
That even you were breakable
I tried to clear you from my mind
Forget our past, leave you behind
But every time I couldn't hide
The piece of me that died inside
Because I found it beautiful
The way you made me comfortable
Even now when we're apart
The hole I have inside my heart
Begins to widen up again
Till you come home to fill it in
I found that every night you'd call
and when it was time to leave you'd stall
I found you kissing me at dawn
Both of us kept holding on
And I found you beautiful
From every angle possible
Your beautiful no matter what you say
'Cause I find you beautiful in everyway
The way you laugh, the way sigh
The way you beg me to comply
I find when tears distort your face
We find a beautiful embrace
I Find I want to marry you
Cheer you up when you feel blue
Live inside the same household
And warm you up when you are cold
I find the way you complicate
And how you never hesitate
A beautiful part of you
Because that's just what you do
The way our love's invincible
I find it all so beautiful
I love it that whenever I try to write a comment it don't work out, like, I read the poem and knew how it made me feel and then I find myself here struggling to say what I wanted and then nathaniel said everything I was gonna.. hahah ya. It was great. All that structure and how it took off on the fourth, ya, ditto. Seriously

This is good stuff. Once again, I have to say that I like how you use rhyme scheme and structure and still make it modern. The first few stanzas seem kinda out of place, as if the poem is stuttering a little while trying to find its way, but when it gets to the fourth stanza its almost like it just takes off. From that point on it was really incredible. It really strung me along (partially because I know who you're talking about)...it was, all in all, a really good poem.
