From Afar

I don't want this to sound corny
I'd like for it to be kinda funny
something to tell you how I feel
but also something real
We've been together for a while
you always have a way to make me smile
although you're a million miles away
the mere thought of you completes my day
and so when you see me
just grab me quickly
give me a sweet and gentle kiss
one I am bound to miss
For now while I'm far
when you look up at the stars
remember that I love you
and don't forget that you love me too

I wrote this poem for my aunt when she just arrived in Canada. She was breathing down my neck while I was thinking of something to write so I just wrote down whatever she said (but in a better and rhyming way) and this is what came out. She loved it. Her ex-boyfriend did too.
