Congratulations

This poem is basically a sappy love letter dedicated to my best friend. Read it if you'd like to.

Congratulations! You’ve won my heart.

I may be awkward and love books way too much,

I may clean so excessively not a speck of mess remains.

But baby, I’d clean for you.

Congratulations! You’ve won my heart.

I sing songs off key with lyrics that the artist never gets right

I may be a brand all my own,

but baby I feel normal around you.

congratulations! You’ve won my heart.

You may flirt with everyone but I know you only love me

People may say you’re a monster, but I know how good you are.

You may make mistakes sometimes, but you always apologize

Congratulations! You’ve won my heart.

Maybe others don’t see you kindly, but that’s why I do.

I truly know you, accept you, and love you,

We can both be ourselves and each other's strengths when weak.

Congratulations baby, you’ve won my heart.

this is sweet. i like that you start by explaining something unique about yourself, then how your person fits into that! it's a nice little portrait of how two people can fit together.

we all need to find our missing puzzle piece. Thanks for reading, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

"...I sing songs off key with lyrics that the artist never gets right I may be a brand all my own, but baby I feel normal around you."
This made me laugh cuz I am no singer and my husband is okay with it. That's when I knew....
Lovely piece and I'll be reading more of your work.

You've got yourself a keeper for sure! thanks for reading, and I'll definitely return the favor!

Your ‘A cappella’ relationship, in a poetic rhythmic ‘beat’ and ‘consonance’ imagery certainly gave ‘overture’ to my reading! Great write ….

I don't know if you know how much I loved reading this comment, thank you XD. I'm glad I wrote something you liked, thanks for reading!

Your words are so melodic and natural that seems you've won a jackpot.. the guy is worth so much love, trust and understanding. Don't know if you write lyrics but this could so easily be a song.. especially with that repeated line... .

[Noemi]

Thanks, a song would be an interesting project for sure! thanks for reading and for the review.

Think about it, read a second time and felt same.. :)

Ha, you gave me a laugh when you said: "I sing songs off key with lyrics that the artist never gets right" I think a lot of us do haha. Was a nice letter to your friend, thanks for sharing it!
