You had been seeing Wilhemina a little over a year now and it has been nothing but pure bliss. You began writing poems about her from the moment you two became exclusive. You had debated on whether you should give them to her or not; afraid that she would think they were childish.
But you just had to share your works, so you opted to going to a poetry club during the week. You would come home early to fix dinner for Wilhemina and be running out the door by the time she made it home, not returning til 10 or sometimes 11 at night.
At first she paid no mind to it. She used that time to finish leftover projects from work but after a month she began to get suspicious and slightly afraid that you may have found someone else. You shared your location with her so she knew where you were, but never who you were with. So one night she decided to pop up where you were and see what was going on for herself.
She slowly walked into the club, the lights were dim and it was relatively quiet. There was a band playing on stage and there were people sitting around talking but you were nowhere in her line of sight. Scanning the place a few more times she went and sat in a booth near the wall at an angle where she could see everything.
As she continued to look around someone came onto the stage momentarily stopping the band to introduce you onto the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you all know what time it is. Y/n has come back to share her words of wisdom with us so listen up! And remember, snap, don't clap. Come on out Y/n!"
You walked on from the side and smiled before giving the announcer a one armed hug. You pulled your stool up and pulled your phone out going to your notes.
"So you all know these poems are about my girlfriend right?" You started off. The crowded muttered out a few yeahs as Wilhemina just sat there in shock. She had no idea you wrote about her.
"Well this first one is about when I first realized I loved her. Fellas take notes." You joked towards the end before turning around, nodding towards the saxophone player letting him know he could start playing.
He started playing a slow, smooth rhythm and soon after you started reading your poem.

I think I love you....
Hey I know this is strange but
I think I love you.
Not just a friendly love either
The type of love that changes your life
I know it sounds crazy but
I think I love you
You might think I'm a creep
But I promise you I'm not
There's something about you
That leaves me breathless
That leaves me wanting more of your time
Wanting more of your attention
Wanting you to love me back
I know I sound stupid but
I think I love you
This sounds stalkerish but
I've been watching you
I know what corny things make you smile
I know how your voice changes when you're tired
This might be alot to take in but
I know I love you
I know I love you with all my heart
Your presence can brighten my darkest days
Thinking about you can erase all negativity from my mind
I know for sure now
That I love you
I love the way you squint your eyes when you smile
I even love the way you roll your eyes
I know you may never feel the same way as I do
And I know it may take a million years for you to love me the way I love you
But after all my uncertainty
And all my nervousness
I can say without a doubt
That I don't think I love you....
I know I love you
And hopefully soon, you'll love me too

A bright smile had appeared on your face as you were reading causing Mina to smile as well. She swooned over your words basically caught in a trance. The snaps brought her out of it causing her to snap as well.
"Okay the second one is my favorite. Jeff keep playing." You said before starting your next poem.

Im not use to writing love poems so here it goes
They say love is blind so just for the cause I wrote this one in brail
And if your heart can't hear the words Im saying then I'll use sign language
Or the ever so simple with words of the english language
I love you
And I know it seems early to proclaim these type of feelings but its true
I love the tiny waves of you hair whenever you do your hair in the morning
I love the way your eyelashes flutter against your cheek like a beautiful monarch
I love the way you take the two strands of my heart slowing twisting them to see what type of pattern they'll leave
I love the way you got me wanting to tie this knot like a bantu
I be seeing my homies pick up fine girls so if they can I cantu
See you're just so poetic that nothing ever serves you justice and Im just lucky enough to try
You're the sweetest thing I've ever known and you're just to good to be true. I cant take my eyes off of you. I guess you can Call me Lauryn Hill
Baby your love has me on an emotional rollercoaster I guess I should call you Vivian Green
Im not usually a love poet but you made me one
And I know this sounds weird but sometimes I pray that God turns you back into one of my
ribs so I never have to go a day without you
I swear Im not a love poet but if I were to wake up tomorrow and decided to write a poem about love it would be about you
I wanna be your ex's stunt man
I wanna do everything they never had the courage to do
Like trust you
I wanna sample your smile and have my heart beat be the base line so that when we stand next to each other we make the greatest love song ever
You can be At Last by Etta James and I'll be Ooo Child Whenever I see your face
You can be those Candy Coated Rain Drops although it never rains in southern California
Our love can be music
I can be your musician
And you can forever be my favorite song
The stars started to shine as I looked into her eyes. The world stopped. No one else existed. No one else mattered. It was just me and her. In our own little world. The stars started to shine. We started to move closer. Oblivious to our surroundings. Oblivious to our spectators. Oblivious to the critics. It was just us. The stars started to shine as she kissed my lips. The stars started to shine as she held me tight. The stars started to shine as our fairy tale began.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she listened to you read you poem with so much emotion. She knew she loved you before this, but this just made her love you a thousand times more. She was the first one to start the snaps and even let out a small whistle.
You smiled bashfully as everyone started snapping and cheering for you. You stood up from the stool before thanking everyone and getting off the stage. As you were walking towards the bar Wilhemina got up from where she was sitting and slowly made her way over to you.
She had managed to quietly sneak up behind you as you were ordering your drink. Once you were done and the bartender walked away she leaned forward slightly and whispered in your ear.
"Those were lovely poems dear."
You jumped slightly before turning around and seeing the love of your life standing behind you with a bright smile on her face. You placed your hand on your chest and let out a soft laugh as you calmed yourself.
"Jesus H Christ Mina. You know you can't scare me like that." You said before wrapping your arm around her waist. You leaned over and kissed her softly before resting your forehead on hers.
"And I'm glad you liked the poems my love. But not even words can express how I truly feel about you."
