I Find You Beautiful

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.
