I Try: A Poem for Valentine's Day

In the night when I close my eyes, 

every morning when I rise, 

you’re the first thing on my mind. 

I try and I try,

but your smile gets me every time. 

Without fail, it lights up the room. 

One look, and the roses of the tinted glass bloom. 

I try and I try,

but your happiness is infectious and golden. 

Sometimes I wonder, what if I told him? 

Where you are, I wanna be too. 

I try,

because I think that maybe I’m in love with you.
