I love when you smile
in the light of a
traffic signal
on an empty road
at quarter to two.
The clock in your car
is about five hours slow.
The streetlights reflect
in your eyes when you
glance over at me.
You put on some music
because the silence
got awkward.
That good kind of awkward
that's secretly whispering:
"This could be the start of
something right."
I come to the realization
that I don't know how to
make small talk.
And I come to the realization
that I want you more
than I ever realized.
What they say is true:
You know, all that talk
of butterflies in your stomach
and not being able to
sleep or eat and all you
do is think about that person.
It's all true.
We come to our last
traffic signal
and you smile again.
And when we get to
my house I say:
"Thank you so much."
Not just for the ride
but for making sure that
you smiled at all the
traffic signals.

I agree with the two up there completely! Also I thought it was a great story and a good way to end it.

THIS WAS SO SWEET!!! IT REALLY MADE MY HEART JUMP

. I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT HOW YOU CHOOSE SOMETHING FROM YOUR HEART TO RIGHT ABOUT YOU KNOW OUTSIDE OF THE USUALL I MEAN YOU PICKED SOMETHING THAT REALLY MOST OF US OR AT LEAST ME NEVER REALLY NOTICED ABOUT MY SPECIAL SOMEONE BUT I THINK I WILL FROM NOW ON. I LOVED ALSO HOW REALITY BASED YOUR POEM WAS EVEN THOUGH IT GAVE THE EMOTIONS ON THE INSIDE IT STILL KEPT WITH WHAT WAS HAPPENING ON THE OUTSIDE.ANYWAYS THE POINT IS I LOVED THIS POEM IT WAS AN AMAZING PIECE OF WRITTING AND I HAVE NOTHING BUT POSSITIVE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT IT. KEEP WRITTING AND ILL CONTINUE TO LOOK FORWARD TO READING YOUR POEMS!!!

I just want to say that you did SUCH an amazing job with this poem. I loved it! There is an innocence about new love that I think gets lost b/c people have bad experiences and turn bitter or skeptical. But you've captured it here and perfectly described the rush and excitement just from sitting next to someone special on the drive home.
Awesome job! (hugs!)
