If I was your boy

by jLegendc   Dec 24, 2008


If I was your boy
On a snowy path I'd always hold your hand
Like a genie your wish is my command
And start opening the door for you like a gentleman.

I would never look at any other girl
My intentions to you is as flawless as a pearl
It may be hard for you to trust me
My loyalty is to you and that I can guarantee.

If I was your boy
I'd count your pimples on your forehead
So I could have all your attention
Annoying you with much affection.

I'd listen to you, no matter what you say
I'd watch what my mouth is saying
Especially when I'm unintentionally swearing
But if I make a mistake, I'll kneel down apologizing.

If I was your boy
I'd laugh at your jokes even though it's so corny
To make it convincing, I'll laugh hysterically
I've always done that and it's too funny.

I just really love looking at you
I'll never get tired of you
Remember when we had a staring contest at KFC
At that moment, I wanted to ask you to be with me.

But I knew it was too fast
My feelings got the best of me for it's like the sky, it's vast!
Immensely growing rapidly within me
Open my heart and you will see.

If I was your boy
Jealousy and insecurity isn't a problem
Because there's no way you're that kind of girl
You're different from all of them.

You like to sing and dance
In those things, I have no chance
But I love it when you danced "I don't want nobody but you"
Pointing at me melted my heart though it didn't mean something
I can never stop my heart and my mind from imagining.

If I was your boy
Everytime we're together will have endless laughters
Doing crazy things that we've never done before
We'll create our very own adventures.

Hours with you is like spending a day
Freezing time, slowly ticking the seconds away
Walking ahead of me so fast as we pass by the lingerie shop
Jumping for a piggyback to you makes us laugh til we drop.

Riding a shopping cart downhill
The crazy things we did that felt effortless and real
Being with you makes reality better than fantasy
Fairy tales are nothing compared to a true story!

If I was your boy, I'll make you happy everyday
I'd treat you in the right way
For you're the girl that I've been looking
And you're the girl that I'll always be needing.

You've seen the real me
Playful, idiotic and some kind of romantic
I am me because of you
I have nothing to hide from you.

If I was your boy
I'd never make promises because it leads to disappointments
Though I'm telling you now that I'll never change
Even if the letters of my name gets rearrange.

    First impression, the title is kind of "rap-song-ish"; not exactly a bad thing, but it sets a awkward mood.

    After reading only a few lines, I like the repetition of the "If I was your boy" line, but it would fit better at the end of the stanza. Instead of:

    "If I was your boy
    On a snowy path I'd always hold your hand
    Like a genie your wish is my command
    And start opening the door for you like a gentleman."

    Try this:

    "On a snowy path I'd always hold your hand
    Like a genie your wish is my command
    And start opening the door for you like a gentleman.
    If I was your boy"

    I personally think it sound better; kind of like a cause-and-effect sequence.

    In the third stanza, I don't like the second line. That is not something you would want to mention in a love poem.

    In stanza 8, the second line is very long. It looks like a run-on sentence to me. By the end of the line, I had lost all interest in reading the line. It would be better to separate the two thoughts into separate lines. I DID like the word IMMENSELY in this stanza though, it was very powerful and full of emotion.

    In the tenth stanza, I noticed there are 5 lines instead of 4. This threw off the flow quite a bit.

    Overall, the poem is pretty good. The thoughts behind the words were well thought out, but failed to flow on paper as well as they do if you read them out loud. Some of the rhymes were forced (like FANTASY / STORY and SOMETHING / IMAGINING). This poem may be better off as a free-verse poem. I get the meaning of the lines you have written, but it seems that you focused too much on the rhyming scheme. This took away from the words you WERE saying, and what you WANTED to say. I also liked how some parts are somewhat child-like and others are pretty mature. For example, the staring contest at KFC reminds me of a children's game; but many other parts are mature.

    There were a lot of positive things to the poem, but the few negative parts that I mentioned seemed to overwhelm the good parts.

    I like the original side of your poem you puts in mind fantasy and reality. This stanza caught my attention,
    "If I was your boy
    I'd never make promises because it leads to disappointments
    Though I'm telling you now that I'll never change
    Even if the letters of my name gets rearrange". Promises does not always be a broken promises. In a relationship, i think promises are important. If a guy says this to me, it would turn me off, telling me he's not serious enough. Overall, i like your poem it was a pleasure for reading it. It merits 5/5, kel.
