Hope

Another poem from the perspective of my character John.

Hope

I love your smile.

I love your hair of fire.

I love your laugh.

I love how you never tire.

I love how you're gentle.

I love that you dream.

I love that you now know

how important you are to me.

I love when you paint.

I love when you don't.

I love when you speak.

I love when you won't.

I love when we fight

because we get so close.

I love even your name, Hope.

I love you the most.

You're everything I need.

You're everything I want.

I smile when you're here,

and truly, you're never gone.

I love everything about you.

I do. I do.
