The Love I Have

Because I love you.

Words with no meaning to me,

Words filled with emptiness and broken promises

Because I love you.

An abstract concept to me

He, who controlled me and made me feel useless

Him, the man who pressured me

Loosing my most important asset.

Who played with my heart

My feelings and my self worth

As if some kind of game

Love

It was a meaning of giving myself into him

A word filled with self loathing and mistakes.

Until I met you

You

Who brought the light into my life

Who fills me with hopes and dreams

My support beams for my passions

The man who gave a whole new meaning to the word love.

You

The reason I continue to feel butterflies every time you walk into a room

How my heart pitter patters when we close the empty space between us.

For the security I feel just being in your arms

Feelings I have never felt before

You

bring me joy and happiness.

My best friend, my shoulder to cry on.

The man who wipes away my tears and worries.

Your strong fingers working through my hair,

Calming my nerves.

The forehead kisses that flush my face to a crimson red

A strong, supportive hand clasped with mine.

The person who I can splurge on about my day

And you, listen intently to every word I say.

Soaking it all up.

Us

In our moments of anger, stupid anger,

We refuse to look at one another because we know

once we take that first glance,

we can’t help but smile.

A stupid, silly, passion filled smile.

Knowing that me and you,

Us,

Love one another no matter what.

Me and you,

Something that's inevitable.

Because I love you,

Now a whole new meaning

Words filled desire and purpose.

Filled with promises and hope.

A phrase with substance.

Love

No longer an abstract concept.

It's here, alive within me,

And I’m grasping onto this feeling,

This intense love.

Never letting it go

Never letting you go.
