A Little Bit Closer

She's beauty encompassed in a plaid shirt

and a snapback.

It's strange; a mere kick-up from those tiny shoes

makes my heart go ba-bang-bam-bam

and that wide grin

makes me melt from the outside in.

She's beauty encompassed in a fix-me-up car,

drivin' 'round town with my love in the trunk,

and she cannot hear my cries for her

over the sound of Tegan and Sara on the radio,

but I can't be angry.

Because she is love.

And I am in love with her.

I really like the image that this poem puts out. The tone is not hopeful and not hopeless, per say, but more like wanting to be hopeful, if that makes any sense, and I think that's pretty cool.
