Real Deal Poem by Mara Manzano

I really love the way you say hello
I love the feeling when I see your name on my computer window
Boy, you make me feel special in every way
Words can't express, but I'll just say what I have to say

I guess you never saw how I look at you
When you're reading and looking closely at the menu
I just love the puzzled look of your face
So don't freak out when suddenly, you get an embrace

I dread every minute you are away
Did I tell you I want to be by your side every night and day
Cause I'll miss those chinky eyes when you smile
You might be a man, but you have a heart so fragile

I would never get tired of you asking me
On what I ate, what I did and what I'd love to see
And how you remind me to always take care
Since you came, I've loved this life better even if it's unfair

I am excited for what is in store for us
I know we won't destroy each other's trust
Oh, by the way, did I mention the way I feel
Boy, I love you so much, this is the real deal.
