The Big Book of Poems

Imprint

Sorry if this one is "mushy and aww" , as described by Jade.

When I am sad I open the drawer and take out the envelope

When I am sad a read through everything you ever gave me

I like to keep things that to you seem fickle

I keep them for nights like this

It's cold but I'm taking my jumper off

You're sad but that smile never leaves your face

You're staring at the ceiling and I'm sat here reading

I'm reading the notes

Remember when my little one-liner inspired you to write a poem ?

I kept it , I still have it

It tells me that even the littlest of things leave impressions on people , you've left an impression on me

If you cut me open and take out my soul you'd see many things , you'd see writing and laughing and probably quite a few tears

But if you looked close

Really , really close

You'd see your name

Written in the way you always write it , your curved script that leans ever so slightly

I'm reading the notes

Each signed with your letter and a kiss , signed with "I love you" and a kiss , signed with tears smudging the black ink

I'm putting my jumper on because I'm cold

You're smiling because you're happy

I'm reading the notes because I'm fickle

And boy have you imprinted on me
