The title is the first sign of a "rule breaking" poem‚ the lower case letters. This poem has no deep meaning but only one of deep desire for some-one.

It is very informal‚ like what someone would say in a serenade to a person. This poem has a very strong central message with very little deep meaning. The central message is desire
