"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..

Its not selfish and yet we question it, powerful write love....to love is to know an emotion like no other, I believe! And all that comes with that is always going to be questioned! xx

all things in there own time.. i think its right to feel this way about someone if they feel the same way about you.

Sometime being selfish mean you need someone. Just need to stop and allow room for the person to be free and content. All of us hold too tight and sometime not enough. Love is the hardest test in a life. A powerful poem with some good questions. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

A well written poem on love. Everyone who has ever loved someone faces the same pangs of "selfishness". You want to be their whole world, as they are yours. Everything beyond that person is just worthless and insignificant, for the time being. And in my opinion, its not really that selfish. :)

Great job! :D
