Okay, time for the next category…romance. And boy do I have a lot of those poems. They won't all be in this chapter. Anyway, here's a few of them, and I'm going to try centering them and see if it looks better. Oh, and they are a little short.

Just a Ranch Girl
Why would he want me? I'm just a ranch girl.
I don't have a future. I'm just a ranch girl.
I might as well forget it. I'm just a ranch girl.
I'm no match for him; I'm just a ranch girl.
He's a great hero. I'm just a ranch girl.
I'm a social outcast. I'm just a ranch girl.
I can't give you anything; I'm just a ranch girl.
I am not worthy; I'm just a ranch girl.
He has so many to choose from; I'm just a ranch girl.
Why did he come back? I'm just a ranch girl.
It really makes me wonder, am I just a ranch girl?

Blue as the Water
His eyes are blue, blue as the water.
The way he swims, it makes my heart aflutter,
He is my fiancé, so handsome, so brave,
He saved my world whenever I would rave,
He accepted the stone, the sapphire I had,
He never came back for me; it made me quite sad,
Then he returned, and now we are one,
And now we are together, watching the setting sun,
I can't wait for eternity; I hope this will never end,
If he ever leaves, my soul will never mend,
His attacks are faultless, his words never falter,
His eyes are blue, blue as the water.

Will it last?
I see your face and wonder, will it last?
Every time I see you, I forget my past,
I look to the skies and I see our stars,
You're so close to me, and yet so far,
I know we're just children, dressed all in green,
But I just don't know what these feelings mean,
Your aqua eyes sparkle in the dark of the night,
The questions that I have don't make me feel right,
Thanks for being there at all, that's what I say,
Thanks for answering as I call, help me find my way,
I just want you to know you're my best friend,
Link…I hope this will never end.

A Link in My Heart
I try to forget, but there's a Link in my heart,
I know he is there, but there's a Link in my heart,
I strive to move on, but there's a Link in my heart,
If only I could ignore it, there's a Link in my heart,
I don't want this ache, there's a Link in my heart,
I see him, now there's a Link in my heart,
And now Link's here, we'll never be apart.
(They start getting longer now…here's one with Navi's view on Link)
If I Were Only Human
I see him flirt and save countless others,
I feel bad, for he has no sisters or brothers,
The first day I saw him, I don't really know why,
I told him he was lazy, but that was a lie,
He was our hope, the hero of time,
I promised to assist him through all of the grime,
I helped through the temples, and gave him hints too,
Together there was nothing that we could not do,
We defeated the evil and brought a new reign of good,
He was never even selfish; he did what he should,
We met up with the princess, and beauty so rare,
My wings began to droop at the sight of her there,
She was so lovely, and a human as well,
She was the one he loved, that I could tell,
I knew she was Sheik from the very start,
I could feel it in the pits of my tiny fairy heart,
As they stared at each other, I felt something new,
I felt jealous, and figured out just what to do,
He could never love me, and I didn't have a chance,
My little soul throbbed, as his eyes began to dance,
As we entered the temple we knew so well,
My voice whispered softly, like the ring of a bell,
"Goodbye…" I said, so he could not hear,
I hovered above him, tickling his ear,
Then turning away, I flew into the light,
And to this day I wonder, was what I did right?
(This one is inspired by young Link seeing Zelda for the first time)
A Rose in the Garden
The garden was layered, overflowing with green,
It was unlike anything I had ever seen,
As I entered, a sweet smell filled my nose,
It wafted itself in all of my clothes,
The flowers were innumerable, too many to see,
It was like heaven, it truly amazed me,
That's when I saw it, the petals so bright,
Her beauty reflected in the sparkling light,
The rose in the garden, standing out alone,
The sunlight shimmered, and off her dress shone,
The rose in the garden, standing off to the side,
If I said I wasn't in love, I would have lied,
The rose in the garden, with flowing blonde hair,
She was the only thing that I noticed there,
The rose in the garden, sent from above,
Zelda, the only one I would ever love.
Well, that's most of the romantic ones. I have like two more that will be in the next chapter, and I will write one about Ganny, whoever that was…(wink). Later!
