A poem about love, and someone choosing you out of all the other fish in the sea. Hope you enjoy!

You picked me,
Like an apple
hanging from a tree,
or a grape
right off the vine
You picked me,
out of everyone
One moment in time

You picked me,
Even though I did not think
I was good enough
to be chosen
but despite it all,
you picked me
out of everyone,
One moment in time

You picked me,
Somehow you thought
I was the ripest one
The creme de la crop
I only hope I can continue
to make you believe that you were right
You picked me,
out of everyone,
One moment in time

You picked me,
Like an apple
hanging from a tree,
or a grape right off the vine
You picked me,
In a moment so divine

    This is a great poem PE. Though, why the surprise? Sure you’re the best apple on the tree.

    That is so beautiful Alex. It is such a lovely feeling to be picked ur by someone you want to be with.

    Sweet poem. You must be happy that the one who picked you, is the one you had hoped would pick you. Very nice!

    Most people, like apples, get picked just because they are the nearest most available, not necessarily the best on the tree.

    How incredibly sweet and honest!

    BRAVO!

    I loved it. I especially like “somehow you thought I was the ripest one. The The creme de la crop” Wonderful play on words and use of metaphor.
