Fool Or Fallen? Poem by Rebecca Pepper

You’re cute, cuddly but you’re in my space
I don’t have a partner but do you think you can take that place?
I must warn you though, I won’t easily back down
You’re my other half, the smile to my frown

You’re alone, catching my chance to speak
I really must look strange, just like a freak
But I’ve got to give this a try
I have to stop making stupid lies

Your smile, my god, angels could fall
The killer looks… when were you this tall?
The closer I get the faster my heart beats
It takes my everything to keep moving my feet

So close, your eyes shine so bright
Shining with an almost angelic light
I’m talkative, never stop, but with you I can’t say a word
My heart beats and flaps like a caged bird

But you spoke to me and I stood like a fool
I’m shocked you’re always so quiet just listening and looking cool
Small talk, so easy and light ‘Are you ok? ’ ‘Will you go out with me? ’
WAIT! What did I just say? Oh how stupid can I be?

Silence descends, my face oh so red, you throw a devilish smile
Your eyes glow, my heart slows, please let me be in denial
Your face close, whispers barely heard, but I heard that word, my face utter shock
A slow ‘yes’, then our eyes lock, now my thoughts have been blocked

I’m not one to be childish but now I must say
My dream came so true on that fateful day
For forever and always these words will ring true
Yes I love you and you love me too
