Ode To You

By Madelynn Ramm

The shadow of your smile lingers in my mind.

Sending waves of emotion through in kind. 

How I miss your voice, your laugh, your time. 

For each day I long to make you mine. 

My thoughts race and my heart flutters, 

Oh, how your presence makes me wish we were lovers. 

To hold your hand and take long walks. 

To find strangers that sit in rivers and have weird talks.

 It’s just some fun, but with you it’s routine. 

It this what it is like to truly be seen?

It’s your mellow voice and witty brow, 

That weaken my knees and compels me to vow. 

For I promise to cherish your company always, 

And for us never need to ever part ways. 

Lest my heart so sincere, should cry for this love. 

Where I am the fool too incapable to endear. 

May your style and your smarts take notice of my feelings, 

As I try my best to grow our relationship, 

to more than just greetings.
