Love Poem: By You

By You

I remember her and me, on a summer day
Sitting on the grass, on the bank of the rill
Looking at each other, there’s so much to say
With glowing eyes and many stories to tell

But I was lost while looking in her hazel eyes 
And by following every movement of her lips
Seeing her long silky brown hair that’s little wavy
Sliding down on her shoulders and back 

And how she looked so soft and tender 
I was hoping for a breeze but was afraid
That It could harm her! 
Then it’s like if somebody took out the sound jack
So I became to hear nothing

But was satisfied by just 
Watching her facial expressions change
At first she was smiling and laughing
It felt just like heaven
But after a while she frowned and got serious
But looked like an angry cute little kitty 
And that made me smile

Then she started to raise her eye brows
She looked sad
And her eyes seemed to be shining…..
Not with excitement, but with tears
I told myself that I would destroy anything 
That whatever made her cry 
I got so angry 

And then the sound jack was put back in
I could hear her crying
And could see her warm tears sliding 
down on her soft cheeks 

Then I looked up a little to see her crying eyes  
Oh! Seeing that made my heart break in a million pieces 
Then I reached out my arm so I can hold her hand in mine 
And drew closer to her and was about to cry as well

Then(with trying to calm her down) I asked: what is the wrong?
She replied (looking in my eyes and sobbing): I’ve been talking to you
And you weren’t listening!
Oh dear! Please forgive me (I should be thrown to the lions!)
It’s my fault that….
I let myself be taken away from you, by you!
