Why, When, and Love
Why does everyone have their own definition of love but when everyone describes their love it is the same nowadays love just feels like we’re pieces on a chessboard and it’s a game
Why doesn’t everyone fall in love, do they not understand how sweet it feels to be loved
Why do people fall out of love are they even in love to begin with, because I know that I can’t fall out of love with you, I love you too much to do anything bad to you
Why is there so many things that people can control but they just don’t, they only do the bare minimum to keep something staying up afloat
Why am I so in love with you you’re constantly in my mind, I may be the clock but you control the time
Why do I love everything about you for some reason I am just so utterly obsessed with you
Why do I love everything that you do for some reason I fall in love with everything you do
Why do I care about you so much, I worry for you like I do no other because nobody else can make me feel this way that you do
Why do you always take up my mind it makes me think about this love that I have for you and how it is so deserving; kind
Why are you all I can think about, you said my poems don’t have to rhyme which is true but I just feel like when I rhyme it’s easier to express this love that I have for you
When can’t I love you I don’t think that i’ll be able to answer that
“When will we be over” there are so many of these questions but there is also so many days and some of them might feel like you’re in a haze but I want to be with you for the rest of my days no matter how long that is
When did I know that you’re the one, I knew already before because I didn’t want to be with you just for fun, everyday that I have been with you I’ve felt alive, if I’m with you that’s when I know that I can thrive
When i’m writing right now I’m just trying to rhyme my words but what I say is true when I’m not with you it hurts, you may ask me all these questions that i might not have the answer to but all my questions get answered when I’m with you, everything becomes clear
Love is tricky but love is very true I know that I share all the love that’s in my heart with you
love is all around us
love is in me and you
but can I really say that
even if I don’t know it’s true
I mean, everyone has their own
definition of love
but do i really love you
if so when or how do I know
plus when will I be able to tell you
you could say ”I love you” but will
it really be true, how can I
believe in what you say after
everything that happened between me and you
love is all around us that’s true
but do have any love for me
like I do for you
you say you don’t like sad endings, but how do you know that we won’t have a sad ending too, because the truth is I can’t see myself not loving you
