A Sweet, Little Love Song

I sat down and tried to write
a sweet, little love song in the moonlight.
I wanted it to have the sweetest words...
ones you have not yet heard.
I tried to write a catchy little tune
sitting there underneath the moon.
I tried alternative, I tried to make it rhyme.
I tried a little rock and roll, jazz and even ragtime.
I made it country and then changed it to blues.
I'm still trying to write it (and its almost noon)!
I don't want it too mushy or ten pages long.
I just want a sweet, little love song.
I don't want it confusing or full of white lies.
I guess, at least , I can say I tried!
But, I'm DONE NOW!  I can't write it!
And there is no use going on.
So, I guess I'll just send you
this sweet , little love poem.
