Lucky

A Poem by Stephanie
"

For my amazing boyfriend :D He's leaving in October for Marines boot camp...

"
At first glance I never would've known
What was about to happen.
How could I have?
Your red pants, bleached hair and snakebites
didn't exactly match my plain jeans,
highlights or pierced ears.
But one night changed everything.
We shared music, you bought me a popsicle,
there was a hand holding contest...
I like you.

I still couldn't think straight,
knowing I was caught in another crush.
But it was different than the others.
We fought for a ball
When all I wanted to do was kiss you,
And we got closebutnotquite….
You whispered “I like you”
My heart whispered back.
There was a kiss a la French…
I really like you.

“You’re such an odd couple.”
We know, and we love it!
Our friends look on shocked,
What an unexpected pair…
A pair that grew closer each day
Over ramen pasta and silly games
Coming to love each other’s quirks.
You love my klutziness, I adore your laugh!
I want to say it, but don’t know how
I don’t want to scare you…
So I coded it… ikki laboomba you.
I kinda love you.

Day by day, I saw you change
Open up to me, become more social
And I saw myself change,
Felt my heart fall more in love…
But felt it being slowly suffocated
At every mention, any thought of you leaving.
I put a smile on,
Even though you told me I didn’t need to.
I want to be as brave as you, just as strong.
I love you.

I never knew it would be you.
The one I’d notice,
crush on, kiss, fall in love with.
We’re so lucky.
The ones no one thought would be together.
We’ve beat the odds so far
And we’ll do it again.
I’ll miss you every day you’re gone
But I’m so proud of you.

I love you Arron!

This is lovely and obviously deeply personal. I love the way that although I dont know you or Arron I get a very nice image of your relationship and as the piece goes on the reader is able to watch the relationship build and your emotions grow stronger. Lovely!
