So It Goes
Yeah we went out today
I wore my favorite jeans
Your shoulder brushed mine
Not sure what that means
We sit in your car and laugh
At the people in horror films
You say I should watch your favorite
I can't say just how that feels
You might break my heart
Your name has a reputation
A boy with it broke my heart before
God, please let me love this relation
My parents say I'm moving way too fast
Yeah, they just don't get it like I do
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Your laughter echoes like whispers
Baby, you're a mansion with a view
So if you're gonna bring me back to life
Change my tone to a vibrant hue
Just lock those pretty eyes on mine
Damn, never seen that color blue
Echoes whisper of all we haven't done
All the things I want to have with you
Your hands in my hair, breath on my neck
I know we're not there yet, this is all so new
Please, keep gazing at me with that look
I can't stop smiling, and I know it shows
Mind and heart, body and soul, I'm all in
I'm yours to keep, yours to lose, So It Goes

"doesn't really grab me, but, it works. Your language use, is straight-forward, a little plain, but the tone of the poem doesn't demand anything fancy. The focus is more on the emotional attraction for this person. Not a…" -
