Love Poem: You

You

You
I choose YOU
YOU, who I can be myself with;
YOU, who accepts the real me;
YOU, who’s always there for me. 

YOU always make me happy;
YOU are the only one who can calm me down;
YOU are like a breath of fresh air to me;
it is YOU who I want to be with. 

YOU were hurt;
That’s why you said you can’t be in a relationship;
I know what you want and where I should stand 
But baby, I decided, I will take a risk for you. 

I know it has not been awhile since we met;
I know it might be surprising to say
that for 3 weeks, I can tell that I love you;
It’s YOU who I’ve been meaning to be with
I’m hoping that you will change your mind.
