A Poem I Wrote (yeah I'm a dork, so what??)

Tay Tay

(early 2015)

She's the one who made it okay

To make something great

Out of heartbreak

There was a long long time in my life

Spent dwelling with pen in hand

Trying to create the perfect mood

To capture all that young love throws at you

Flashbacks and echoes,

They happen to me too

I used to date musicians

Hoping they'd write  about me

But thanks to you, I picked up a guitar

Now here we are, four years gone

And now I'm the one writing songs

When I start talking about Taylor,

All my friends roll their eyes

But what they don't realize

Is things aren't always what they seem

They say pop stars aren't cool

But I know that if we were together,

We'd talk and laugh the whole night through

What more is there to loving someone?

Flashbacks and echoes,

They happen to me too

I used to date musicians

Hoping they'd write  about me

But thanks to you, I picked up a guitar

Now here we are, four years gone

And now I'm the one writing songs

I can picture us, harmonized singing

Trying on lipsticks and mood rings

Summer dresses, cowboy boots

Dancing, dancing, around my room

It's not a guilty pleasure

Since there's no guilt present

Flashbacks and echoes,

They happen to me too

I used to date musicians

Hoping they'd write  about me

But thanks to you, I picked up a guitar

Now here we are, four years gone

And now I'm the one writing songs

Writing on the back of our hands,

Or notebooks, napkins, we don't care

Serial monogamists, true love addicts

So many silly habits that we share

We even got the same curly hair

We're both well-dressed, well-read

Self possessed feminists

Forging our own way

No matter what the critics say

Yeah, yeah, she'll always be my Tay Tay
