Love Poem

How is it one finds love?

Is it chance? Is it luck? Is it fate?

Or is it just that one no longer wants to wait?

However it may have come to be

I am sure that’s what it is

Between you and me.

Love is such a beautiful thing

How it makes my heart to sing.

I’ll no longer jest or play

Over others expressing how their love brought joy

Because now that I have you

I won’t feel sorrowful; I won’t feel blue.

It’ll just be you and me

And our true love the world will see.

Whether I see you in the light

Or even in the dark of night

My heart just gives a thump or five

And you make me feel so alive.

The gentleness of your caress

The melody of your speech

The warmth of your presence

Oh, how my soul it does reach!

When I dream of you at night

In the morning I awake with delight

Knowing that the hours are but few

Before, again, I will see you.

How does one come to terms with this?

Should I feel there is something amiss?

Alas, No, I should not ponder

But look to the future way out yonder

And think how things will be

When we are still together, you and me!
