Today I Love a Girl

Today I am just a man, 
In love with a girl. 

She has eyes that glimmer, 
Like emerald water. 

And she smells sweet, 
Like lemons and fruit. 

She loves eating pomegranate seeds, 
And talking about her favorite books 
While sitting in the grass
That always leaves stains on her pants. 

She knows me, 
And keeps my secrets in her heart 
Next to hers. 

And deep down she does love me, 
But not how I love her.

    There’s a dog that sits on the end of my street—

    he barks at anyone that nears,

    snarling teeth that glow shiny in the afternoon light.
