and a kite
in the sky.
My eyes swim
in the colors
as you walk by.
My mind wanders
aimlessly
like the leaves in the fall.
I wonder
when you cold clears
if I am able to call.
Oh Katie
I've loved you
since the day
we first met
and then
lost all of my marbles
on that silly bet.
I remember
the time
you scraped your knee
and I was introduced
to an act
of chivalry
I took you home
in the broken wagon
with three wheels
but when my mom
calls for supper
she really squeals.
So I had to leave you
right there
at your front door.
Tomorrow
I assured you
we could do much more.
Did you know my heart is a butterfly
when I play
with you?
We'll hold hands
across the street
and visit the candy store too!
