It’s been so long,
Since I’ve felt this way,
I don’t know where I’d be
If you hadn’t come out to play.

I saw you standing there,
Swinging all alone,
So I walked over, offered to push,
Who knew the threads of love that offer’d sewn?

You told me to push higher,
So I let you fly,
You giggled once, then flashed a grin,
So I let you soar sky high.

That day on the playground,
I’ll never forget,
I’ve loved you forever,
But that’s the day we met.

Inspired by a dream.

-Adam

Of all the things that I confess,
Here's one that is doubtless
I will love you always Jess
Never think I could love you less

Isn't love at first sight wonderful?  That must have been some dream if it inspired you to write!  I love this poem.  It's simple, but making it more complex would have muted the emotion some.  It's really good!

Love will come and love will go, but friends are forever (usually).

Very sweet. I like the way you brought a child like essence into this piece with the addition of a swing. It's like you brought love back to a fun stage, or being young, instead of having it all mature and sitting around a cafe somewhere sipping a latte. Meh, I can't explain it but it sounds good in my head.  

Good work.

This was amazing, you are become a very impressive writer Adam. Never stop writing.
The poem itself was well written.
A little push from a person on a swing can change a person's world. good work!!!

Glad you people like it...I'm not really all that pleased though...I think I'm poetically constipated at the moment... >_<

SOoOoooo sweet! Need I do it? Yes! I must! "Awwwww"  HeHeHehe
Really though, very sweet indeed. I enjoyed it bunches.

You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.

You've done a very good job on your rhyming here.  I especially liked the last stanza.  It sums up the poem quite well.  

Perhaps you should try something with a consistent syllable count.

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"
