I want you to know

That when I am around you

It's hard to find my mind

Writing this haiku

Hurts me dearly, and I

Think it's a waste of time.

Trying to stick to

The dumb five-seven-five rule

Is hard, 'cause I can't count

So, you are lucky

I even care about you

To try and work it out.

Because I love you

And you know that it is true

So I will keep trying

But, counting on my

Fingers is like hell, I

Feel like I am dying

I hope you take time

To read it all the way through

Because I do love you

Huh, you got this far?

Well, I have a confession

I know how to count.
