BEFORE YOU READ: Read the first letter of each line before reading the poem horizontally. 

Please fall in love with me

don't you see that I'm lonely?

love is a very fragile thing

me, just me, is so, lonely.

I want to be with you.

am I too wistful for love that's true?

happy, I am, and sad all at once

I believe that I am a dunce.

am I too crazy for love that's true?

restless is something I am around you.

to be held in your arms is my one dream

be what sets my eyes agleam.

reckless is my silly crush on you,

and I can't help but think you feel it too.

free would you be if you were with me.

I'm very crazy, maddened indeed.

not hysterical, you make me wobbly.

crazy is a very fragile word

Just tell me I'm crazy, I won't be hurt.

a mad hatter in some tales is looked on with honor.

bit by bit I tell myself such fodder.

lazy is love, so I'll call it obesssion

If you fall in love with me then I'll be your pretension.

I want to be with you.

can't you see my love, so true?

care is something I'd like from someone.

for care from you is found only in love.

myself, myself, me, myself, and I,

how can I live alone, on the sidelines?

can you confess your love for me too?

I can tell on both sides, love is true.

care for me and I'll care for you.

for love on both sides is stronger than a troop.

you are my infatuation,

and, in fact, a desperate obsession.

for confession to happen, you must say it first.

me, I'm so desperate, I had to rehearse.
