Buttercup

I suppose it's time for me to explain,

Just how I decided on your nickname.


You were neither the sunshine or the rain.

And the word "babe" seemed overused and lame.


Your hair is yellow like Hosanna Hill butter,

And I could hold you with two hands, just like a cup.


Your eyes so beautiful they make my heart flutter,

To the point where it literally holds me up.


My feelings for you, I wish to remain,

So call me "darling", it is my nickname.
