Little Poems...

I can't promise I'll write poems to you every day
But when you're feeling down I'll find some words to say
And hopefully the bad feelings will soon go away
And the smile upon your face says you're okay.

I've never been the kind of guy to promise much
Just a simple whisper in your ear and a gentle touch
I'll be there for you when you feel you need a crutch
And the smile upon your face will never budge.

Can you tell me when you're feeling all alone?
Just whisper in my ear or call me on the phone
You won't have to spend the weekend on your own
And the smile upon your face will set the tone.

We could go out for the evening and take a drive
And stay awake all night until it's four or five
A simple plan that doesn't need to be contrived
And the smile upon your face says we're alive.

So if I reach into my heart and find the words
And write you little poems that you've never heard
Would you look into my eyes and feel assured?
And then smile like your emotions being stirred?
