My Dear Pumpkin

I sit with her but I'm lost in thought 

I actually do this quite a lot  

She brings up a topic I know nothing about 

I hear her, but sometimes I just zone out 

Sometimes I wonder if it's wrong 

I think I could do it all day long 

Her facial features I find myself admiring 

For a fact, I find her beauty inspiring 

She calls to my attention 

But I seem to be in another dimension 

She says: "Pay attention to me!" 

From my mind, I finally become free.  

I look at her and meet with her eyes 

Jokingly I say "Is this my demise?" 

Her mouth begins to form a smile 

I reciprocate it and we sit there awhile 

She is my beautiful girlfriend 

But she's also my best friend 

Ashley is her name  

But Pumpkin is her nickname
