Love Like A Schoolgirl Poem by Danusha Marie

I drew his name
In lipstick on my mirror
Then left a kiss print
As a reminder
No one else is the same

I doodled on my notebook
In ink of many colors
His name and then mine
To imagine
How it would sound and look

In childlike ways
Of giddy elation
Evoking youthful
Actions from
Those innocent days

When crushes were exciting
New and hopeful
Thoughts of romance
From movie scenes
And passion requiting

But I am grown
Yet taken aback
By the happiness
Born from this connection
And this joy has shown

Reduced to my
Schoolgirl ways
A skip in my step
A smile on my face
His name brings a sigh

While my heart
feels youthful
renewed and awake
I know to be thankful
So we’ll never part

For what he brings
Is abundance
And respect
I’ll offer the same
So that true love rings
