"Selfish"

"Selfish"

A Poem by Gregory Lara

Am I selfish,
Is it selfish of me that i want her, and 
no one else to have her.
I want to be the only one she talks to.
The only reason why she smiles

She's the only reason I smile
The reason I laugh 

You should see her
She's amazing 
She'll take your breath away..
If you see her cry, you'll turn your
back to the whole world to see her 
smile again..

Is it selfish of me that I want her 
more in my life...
If it is selfish, say I am selfish...but the 
reason why is, I'm in love with her..

Yeah I like this one, when love enters the scene so does possessiveness and insecurity. You express the affection here really well. Thankyou.

Great poem!!! I love the part where you wrote: "If you see her cry, you'll turn your back to the whole world to see her smile again..." You can feel the passion and kindness that there is from him to her.

I'm sure the poem speaks to countless people. I know I don't want to share the one I love. It's such a sweet poem, and I'm sure whoever you wrote this for would be deeply flattered.
