As I read

My imagination turned to you

That’s what it would take

A kind word or two

Just wouldn’t do

I needed to investigate you.

So I stumble through

What ends and begins with two

Two souls wed into one

That could never be torn apart

That would never break the other’s heart

At least, that’s what was vowed from the start.

What was I to do?

Impress you with an academic conversation

A prelude to a passing time

Within a world all rosy and fine

Where both would always wear a smile

And of course, run the extra mile.

As I thought

One mistake

Could make my world shatter

And what would matter

Some words I left behind

Who would read them ahead in time?

What could I do to wake you from your slumber?

What could you do to allow me to rest?

Drop bomb another test

Give you my best

and have nothing left

But a prelude to an intelligent review.
