Why Do I Love You So?

Why do I love you so?
The thought rolls through my mind
Have so much in common
Although we’re worlds apart

I love the way you smile
The beauty on your face
The love shown in your eyes
That makes me feel alive

The warmth of your body
As I hold you close to me
Feeling your heart beat
Your head upon my chest

All of this goes to say
The one thing I do know
Don’t know why I love you
I just know that I do

74

Down this road again you go
You know deep down that you’re in love
But still you try to second guess
As memories against it rub

You want to push your love away
To keep them from your confusion
Afraid are you to this pursue
Unto it’s resolution

I see through this murky facade
To the heart of that which is you
Please unchain your fettered heart
So unloosed may your feelings run true

Travails and fears your life may run
If upon them you do not clamp
Opportunities you may miss:
Happiness, deep love and bliss

73

I would love to hear your voice
When my head I lay down to rest
And once again as I wake
And all throughout the day
For comfort to me it brings
To hear the caring
The sweetness
Your love
That is my only dream
Your voice, you, our love
