Love

And, once again, for creative writing class.

It's not the way you look at me
or the way your eyes could stop my heart...

It's not the shape of your lips,
or the way you say those three words...

It's not the smoothness of your skin,
the shivers running down my spine when I touch you...

It's not your shattered glass heart,
the one I long to put back together...

It's not the way you hold my hand,
or cuddle up against me...

It's not the sound of your laughter,
or the pain I feel when you cry...

It's not one specific thing,
it's all of these and more...

So if you ever wonder "why?",
this is all you need to know.

this was a great, great poem. I think one of the best romance poems I've read on here. ^_^ The emotion was deep and expressed well and it also flowed great. I was kept wondering about what was that one specific reason, but the ending was better than I expected, 'it's all of these and more'. Great piece.
