Love Poem - Poem for Mike Poetry Competition

I may not have a silver tongue

Or always say the right thing.

I may not have the perfect touch

Or even know where to begin.

I try to be romantic but I feel

awkward and shy.

I want to tell you how I feel

But I'm afraid you'll laugh.

But every moment of every day

I imagine us together -

Walking, talking, laughing, crying.

Watching, feeling, touching, dancing.

I miss the smile on your face

and the light in your eye.

I miss you lying in my lap

And talking about your day.

Because I always notice

I always listen

I always care.

I may not have a silver tongue

Or always say the right thing.

I may not have the perfect touch

Or even know where to begin.

But I do know I love you.
