From a To Z To Her

A was for an auburn sky
Smiling down on us to pry,
For how you awoke my senses,
And I stepped past your defenses.

B, ‘cause my brain was a mess
When I saw you in that dress,
Because my crush was benign,
Until I clasped your hand in mine.

C for that corner of world
That I build around one girl.
And for the color of your lips
That I wanted to feel under my fingertips.

D was for the dreamless dawn,
You wearing my jacket on,
For that daring thought of mine
That had me kissing you goodbye.

E was for an endless daze,
When I could stare at you for days,
For eagerness uncalled for

You wore during that first sunshine.

K is for a kiss, then ten,
And a million more since then.
And it’s also for your knuckles
I kiss every time you chuckle.

L is for how lost I’d be
If you weren’t here with me,
Loving, laughing, lying here,
Where I hold you all so dear.

M, one minute, all it took,
For you to read me like an open book,
And now one minute’s all I need
For your sight my soul to feed.

N, ‘cause never I’d have thought,
You would get me so distraught,
N for how nervous I’d be
