My Girlfriend
There she lies, feet tucked under, all
curled up. My girlfriend. She’s smart,
funny, & cute. The most beautiful girl
in the world to me. I can only count
myself fortunate to be dating her. She
deserves the best. As she would give all
to me - so I give all to her. Whatever she
asked I would do - and yet she would
not have me unduly suffer to please her or
prove my affection. I know her. I can
read the slightest glimmer in her eye-
and immediately know the source of all
her unhappiness. The very secrets of my
heart do I share with her. On the eve
of my destiny it is her I want by
my side - forever, always...not even in
death shall we part. For were she to
die tomorrow, my heart would not
beat, my breath run from my lungs,
& all life cease. To live without her
I cannot. With her eyes she can bring
me to the top of mountains to touch the sky -
or sink me to the depths of Earth, heavy
laden with my guilt.
So to all I say, treat her well, never
disgrace or abuse her, and exalt & respect her only as she so
deserves. But her equal, her companion,
her friend...
