No offense my love,
But to compare your cheesy smile,
To the delicate morning rosebud petal,
Beside a shimmering lake would be a bit much.

To the nimble strolling of a noble dear,
In a field of Mayflowers would be laughable.
But it doesn't stop me smiling when you walk towards me.
Shall I compare thee to a summers day?

It is probable my dear,
That I could pen one thousand verses in a day,
Comparing your crinkling blue eyes,
To that of the rising tide at dawn.
But honestly,
I think I'd rather spend that day with you.
Besides, you'd probably think they were stupid.
