There is no such thing as True Love (Only Love & The Truth)

There is no such thing as True Love (Only Love & The Truth)

A Poem by Karishma Magvani

I love you because you always had
the nerve to tell me whenever I was acting stupid on my face
I love you because you never
failed in making me feel special.
I love you because you held my hand when I was about to crumble
and somehow that held me together
I love you because when I am with you, I am whole
I love you because you let me see you cry
that one time when you shut out everyone else.
I love you because you went to college
halfway across the world even after I begged you to stay
I love you for your determination & your clear head
I love you for preventing me from hating myself for holding you back
I love you for having the strength to
wriggle out of my grasp just before I suffocated you
And someday, years from now,
I will hear through a friend of friend that you’re out there,
changing the world, doing amazing, great things.
And I will smile.

There is a lot in this piece tjat I like. I love the lack of bitterness in those last two lines, especially. You're a real poet.
