Premature Penmanship

I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head And spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread I think I love you (I think I love you) Lyrics from I Think I Love You (The Partridge Family) over and over again with premature penmanship i write your name, right next to mine they share a pillow before i do my first and maiden name your first and our last name my first, your last Mr. And Mrs. O the cursive kisses before we met, there was a psychedelic bus adventures of a long-haired voice though not my idol choice still the romance with his superb notes he passed them to me i ate up the heartbeats, ooh Bandala— he’s coming for me, and i hold that pillow to my brain i think he loves me i think he loves me i wear his wedding band their bands of gold with leaves i leave behind a fantasy to fantasize my life with thee 2/13/2022

This is a beautiful poem Kim."i write your name, right next to mine they share a pillow before i do". Enjoyed the mischievous tone of these lines. Very cute.

Such a sweet love poem to read on Valentine's Day about putting the teen heartthrob in the rear view mirror and focusing fully on true love. I liked the wedding "band" reference too. Beautiful, Kim
