The Most Beautiful of All God's Angels

What if a guy was to actually like me?

Do you see that girl,

The one in the corner?

She came in every day

And sat at that same place.

I watched for her,

Just hoping to catch

A glimpse of Heaven.

Yes, that she is -

An angel,

A special piece of Heaven.

She’s so beautiful,

So pure,

But yet she always looked

So sad and lonely.

 

I wondered what she thought about

When she sat there on her own,

Staring out the window

At the world passing by.

I’d have given anything to find out

How that gorgeous mind of hers ticked.

 

One day when she was done staring

And she got up to leave,

I saw those blue-green eyes,

Glistening with tears.

I just wanted to run up to her,

And hold her,

Run my fingers through her lovely dark hair

And tell her everything would be okay.

I wanted to wipe the tears

Out of those perfect eyes;

I wanted to kiss all the pain away.

 

But while these images

Conjured themselves in my head,

She walked out the door

Into the faceless crowd.

Would I ever have the guts

To tell her how I feel;

To tell her that she’s the

Most Beautiful girl in the world;

To tell her I wanted her to be mine?

Oh, who am I kidding?

She wouldn’t be interested

In the likes of me.

 

But, alas, I was wrong.

She walked back inside

And placed her arms around my neck..

She said she had seen me

Staring at her every day,

And that she knew

That the flowers on her table

And the poems on her napkins

Were meant for only her.

She said she’d cried after

Reading each line,

Because she felt that this

Was the man of her dreams.

And when she figured out

That I had written them,

She knew I was the one.

 

I am the happiest man alive

Because I have this beautiful girl at my side.

The most beautiful of all God’s angels

Is mine to love.

And love her I will.

I’ll take care of her

Like no one else can.

I’ll love her

In a way she has never known.

I will respect her

As though she is a princess

And I will treat her like that

Perfect, pure angel that she is…

Author's Note

Okay, so this is one of THE cheesiest poms I have ever written, but it's part of my "therapy". I had to write a poem about a guy who would like me. I don't think I'm worthy of being loved and as part of my therapy I had to pretend that somehow that could happen...

Okay, so I was missing you and ran across this poem and I absolutely love it (and don't think it's cheesy)!!! I couldn't hope anything more wonderful for you, my dearest friend! You deserve this and so much more, for you truly are an angel... (So glad you wrote this and so glad I had the joy of reading it!)
