Uncomplicated

This poem is not thought provoking or intellectually stimulating. But it simplifies what we so often complicate. Love.

Smell her hair.

Pick her up and pretend you're going to throw her in the pool . . . she'll scream and fight you, but secretly she'll love it.

Hold her hand while you talk. Hold her hand while you drive. Just hold her hand.

Tell her she looks pretty.

Pray for her.

Look her in the eyes when you talk to her.

Tell her stupid jokes.

Tickle her, even if she says stop.

Slow dance with her.

Let her fall asleep in your arms.

Get her mad, then kiss her.

Tease her. Let her tease you back.

Stay up with her when she's sick.

Kiss her forehead.

Let her wear your clothes.

Pray with her.

Kiss her in the rain.

And when you fall in love with her . . . tell her.
