For What It’s Worth

13/09/2020 -  Poem a Day Compilation



When we met,

I fell in love with your eyes,

Soft blue like melted ice –

A window to your soul.



Then I fell in love with your smile,

The way one corner of your mouth

Would pull up before the other,

And my whole world lit up.



Soon enough, I fell for your mind.

The way it worked through problems

And opened up new solutions

While I sat and watched in awe.



I fell in love with your humour

And the way you could make me laugh;

The tales you could spin

That would keep me enthralled.



What I didn’t know back then,

In the very early days,

Was that you were falling in love

With little, old me.



I never thought you’d stay,

Not forever, anyway.

But, for what it’s worth,

I hoped that you would.
