Give Me a Try

Show me your bad poems and I’ll show you mine. Let me inspire yours the way you do mine. I’m sure we’d be the best pair of pathetic poets.

You would write about how green eyes are your least favorite and how I’m not your dream girl but I do make you laugh. The stars say Taurus and Gemini aren’t compatible, anyway.

That’d be fine though because I’d probably write about how I absolutely hate brown eyes but still, you do make me laugh. And, lucky for us, I don’t even believe in astrology like you do.

When I washed my baby blanket, I checked the dryer in distressed intervals because I was afraid I’d come back to a pile of thread. You thought it was adorable.

Now darlin’, if you know that I took care of a blanket that well and for this long, imagine how well I’d take care of you.
