To The Girl I Met Yesterday
I'm sorry if you were surprised,
Just know, I recited this last night
"What do I say, how do I start?"
I'm sorry for this rather nervous heart.
I didn't want you to think I was too forward
Instead, I came off pretty awkward.

I guess I'm pretty weird,
Like, who says "hello"
With a pink post-it note?
I'm sorry if I annoyed you,
But, it's you, I've forever wanted to talk to. From a fool who thinks you're pretty & cool.

To the girl I met yesterday.
I'm glad I made you smile,
And, I hope I made your day
As you made mine yesterday and today.
I know, you're not a big romantic,
But please bear, my poetic antics.

You still hold Cupid's bow;
My heart sways with each arrow,
You the seas that gently, rock my boat
Even under, rain, hail, sleet, and sorrow.
To the girl I met yesterday.
Have a beautiful future, tomorrow, and today.

Cupid's and gargoyles are far more real
Then these weird feelings that I feel.
Don't bother replying to these texts of teal
You've freed a heart, locked in metal seals
To the girl I met yesterday.
Have a beautiful future, tomorrow, and today.
