PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I do not love you
because you are beautiful
even though you are

the epitome of grace.

I love you for what
the eye cannot behold-
your intrinic qualities.

I love you for your light
but also your darkness
for that is when
your heart is purest.

I do not love you
because you are lovable
for anyone can do that.

I love you because
even when you
are hard to love,
you allow me to try.

I love you on

your brightest day

and in the shadows

of your soul.

I love you without
expectation that
it will be reciprocated.

But without your love,
I would not exist
for you are part of me.

So please love me
like I love you;
love me to the sun,
to the moon and back.
