You've looked at me
With love
Since the very beginning...
I don't know where I would be
If I had never met you...
You've kept me sane;
Even my mother has noticed.
With you, I can be myself:
I don't have to worry
About being scolded
For not acting my age.
With my father, however,
I have to walk on eggshells...
I'm glad to have a friend like you...
You are, so to speak,
My everything.
You give a new meaning
To the perfect man...
I want my husband
To be just like you
In almost all aspects
Though he could be just a little bit cuter...
Just kidding...
I just want you to know
That without you,
I don't think I'd be here today...
So thank you
From the bottom of my heart.

This poem is absolutely beautiful. This would have been a wonderful entry in my last contest nearly. My fiancee is that best friend. It is a special gift to have a good friend like this.

very nice
i can feel the emotion seeping out of the poem you are very talented. keep up the good work. -
I'm helping the judge of this contest in judging these poems, so please allow me to speak my mind.
Cute...too cute...annoyingly cute...naively cute. almost as cute as the little middle schooler who just can't find the right skirt to wear with her side ponytail and cute little plastic jewelry...wait a second, we're not ten and this isn't junior high...so why did you write a poem that sounded like the miss priss wannabe's view on love?
i'm just so glad that you found that certain special someone who will always be your night in shining armor...even though you're obviously caught in a fairy-tale world of princesses marrying knights. good luck with that, sweetheart.
next time get a better grasp of reality and write about something more...(repeating myself here, i know) realistic. i'm sorry if this was cruel, but your cliche, naive, youthful style of "poetry" annoys me. it's more like a letter than a poem, and even the letter sounds too mushy for real life. sorry, hun. i'm sure you can do better. -
this is an awesome tribute to your best friend. i wish you the best of luck in this cotnest that we both have entered. viyanna rosemarie

ah this is wonderful!! written so poignantly with even a dash of humor. Kevin is lucky to have someone who loves him so much!! and, it would seem, you are lucky to have him! Thank you for following the rules, and for giving me such a marvelous entry! "I want my husband
To be just like you
In almost all aspects
Though he could be just a little bit cuter...
Just kidding...
I just want you to know
That without you,
I don't think I'd be here today..."
