#BecauseILoveYou

#BeacauseILoveYou

By: Alexandria Kinard

Because I love you, time stops

Clocks no longer tick and moments are no longer counted

Alarms have no sounds almost as if we went deaf to the world around us

Because I love you, I forgot what a phone was

My phone becomes a foreign object that I have no interest in discovering

Checking a status is no longer a concept

Because I love you, food taste different

The entree from our date can ignite all of my taste buds

Every spoonful counts because it was shared with you

Because I love you, distance is okay

I don’t feel like I have to be with you 24/7 to love you

We respect boundaries and the feeling of being alone

Because I love you I am writing this poem

A poem as an ode to our relationship

A healthy relationship shared with you
