Monday
Saw gulls reflected
In windows and thought of you
Proof of the ocean
Tuesday
Beautiful lighthouse
Built on rocks of daydreams I
Stole to be with you
Wednesday
I seem to wear the
Silliest smile when I talk
Of you to strangers
Thursday
I’d close my eyes and
Be led down a New York street
By you anytime
Friday
You’re a lullaby
For my insomniac bones
Be my next good night

So romantic.
Would be a dream to have someone love me like that.
Well done!
