Description I'm keeping careful count
Of what has come and gone,
And I'm already up one hundred
But let's mess it up some more.

I just think that you're the
One I need
To be the best I am
For us to be alive.

You're so
Everything,
I can't even
Explain it.
And when I try to open my eyes,
Your eyes just berate them.

I open up to talk
And you steal the words form beneath me,
Sitting, smiling, staring.
I love you that much more.

Now I'm up to a thousand,
I'm so far away from where
I had started.
How did I get here so fast?

So when you let those words
Escape from your lips,
I counted to a million.

A long time from then,
I was still going.
And your lips were on mine,
But you made me lose count.

I never started again.

If I've read this beauty correctly, I'd say that the Author is in love!
I know I am NOW!.........."But you made me lose count."..."I never started again."

Zeez. Tell me the truth Steve! Are you REALLY just 14? Not that that's a bad thing!
But are you?.....I'm very impressed, even if you're 41!

*holds up a pic of Glen aside one of Julie Andrews*....
*notices the parrot umbrella stashed in the corner*...

There are so many things wrong with the things I'm seeing in my head. Particularly the part where you danced on the rooftops with the chimney sweeps.

Come on, there's no need to be so critical! We did the best we could!
Remember, that was filmed way back in 1963! So give us a break!
We didn't have any digital magic to correct stuff in those days!
Besides, it was damn cold on that rooftop and Dick Van Dike had bad breath! [:

*quickly stashes that damn pink umbrella deep in the closet, outta sight*

No. And your NOT 84! Because an 84 year old does not possess the memory prowess
to remember what young love was! Like what you so write about so elegantly! No way!

I LOVE the last line/stanza. It really completes the poem. Very good work!
