The Boy Poem by Natalee Warnberg

Most girls want the knight in shining armor.
I did to,
Or at least I thought so.
That was until I met the boy.
The one that made me laugh,
Made me smile,
Made me cry.
Never for bad reasons.
The one who always said how I was beautiful,
Never hot.
The one who would compliment my eyes,
Before anything else.
The one who has cracks in his story,
But always seemed to help me with mine,
The boy who gave me life when I fell silent.
The one who gave me light when everything felt dark.
The boy I would giggle with my mother about like it was another elementary crush,
The boy who made me feel pretty in pink again.
He's the one who makes me feel like I'm worth millions.
But as I feel I may cause him only problems as it seems,
He reminds me what it is I truly mean to him.
He may not be the prince in shining armor I thought I wanted as a child,
But he fills the hole I used to have in my heart,
With just a simple smile
