A Look Inside

i love you.

poem no.3: i love you:

-

I was asked why I love you. 

There are, 

Of course, 

Endless reasons, 

But I did try to summarize as best as possible. 

So, here goes nothing. 

I love you because of your deep brown eyes. 

Those dark chocolate eyes I get hypnotized in. 

I love you because of your smile. 

The dimples that run deep on the sides of your lips, 

As deep as craters on the moon. 

I love you because you have a constant positive attitude. 

I could be dark and gloomy and want everything to go away,

But then I see you, 

With that smile and your beaming positivity. 

I love you because you're passionate about the things you care about. 

Just like me. 

I love you because the first time I laid my eyes on you, 

I knew, 

Deep down,

Somewhere,

That you were special. 

That you were different. 

Everything in that moment was perfect. 

It was like something straight out of the movies. 

Everything else faded away and blended into the shadows.

But then there was you. 

And you were all that I could see. 

But I didn't know who you were then. 

And now that I know you, 

That instant attraction has grown more and more. 

I knew there was something different. 

And the moment my eyes met yours for the second time, 

I got this feeling in the pit of my stomach. 

The world had once again stopped just for us. 

And at that moment, I was happy. 

Truly, 

Jump up and down, 

Shout it from the rooftops, 

Happy. 

My troubled mind, 

Plagued with ghosts from my past, 

Was at ease when you looked back at me. 

And my lonely soul, 

Tired and ragged and ready for a break, 

Got lost in those deep eyes. 

Those eyes that seem to shine brighter than any star. 

Those eyes that are ever so prominent in my dreams, 

Daydreams, 

And constant thoughts. 

Before I found you, 

Several before you had left this ginormous, 

Gaping hole in my heart.

But from just a simple glance from you,

You cured me faster than I thought possible. 

To be honest, 

I thought  I was damaged beyond repair. 

And then you came along. 

And suddenly, 

All those heartbreak songs about them, 

Turned into love songs about you. 

Simply thinking of you makes me happy. 

I love you because I think I know, 

Deep down, 

I can't have you. 

But I'm sure as hell gonna try. 

I love you because we have the same sense of humor. 

I love you because you let me win arguments even when I may not be right. 

I love you because you genuinely care about me. 

I love you because you make sure I'm okay. 

I love you because you know when I'm lying. 

I love you because it seems like I would be lost without you. 

I love you because the mere thought of losing you breaks my heart. 

I love you because you're you. 

And that seems to be perfect for me. 

You seem to be perfect for me. 

I love you. 

I love you. 

I love you. 

I love you...
