Love Poem: I Love You

I Love You

I love you
Because I do
And it shouldn’t be 
Taboo for me to say so.

Maybe it’s misled
 But maybe a sore heart 
And head
Help me feel closer
To where you and I were
Less than a month ago

Trouble plagues me, amor,
And I can only dream
That maybe I’ll make it to the sea
And that my toes will clench the sand
The way they did 
when you left a final kiss
on me

It made me scramble 
For a way to you
For a promise that
Some solid day 
I can return the kiss to you…

And that day pains me…
It rocks my 
aching heart
knowing that I don’t have the means
nor you the love

Because love, for you
Beyond taboos
 is
just
 too 
much.
