A Poem About Love That Made My Boyfriend Cry

Love, is you

Ringing me

Before I fall asleep

At 11PM just to

Tell me goodnight.

It's reminding me

To tie my shoelaces

So I don't fall.

It's ordering me

Food even though

I told you five times,

I am not hungry.

When you brush

My hair when I

Cannot be bothered,

And when you buy

me gifts, just

Because you say

I deserve it.

But do you deserve me? Maybe.

Do I deserve you? Surely not -

But it seems

No matter how hard

I may push you

Away, or test you,

Or tease you

Or anything in-between,

Here you are.

Waiting for me when

I get home after a

long day at work,

Greeting me with that

Infamous grin

That tells me

Three little words. You

Do not have to

Say them for me to know

They circle your mind

Like bees

Around a sunflower.

But I am the garden

And you are the gardener.

You're the suncream

When it's too hot, and

You're that cherry on top.

The butterflies

Go crazy when I think

Of your

gorgeous, deep eyes.

I ask myself:

What is this I'm feeling?

Both brain and heart agree

(For once)

That this, my dear

Is love.
