Not a love poem

This first poem I wrote for my wife.

This is not a love poem
by any stretch of the imagination

Even though I feel like my chest is going to explode
and an incredible sense of joy radiates from within me

This is not a love poem

Even though I think that you're the most beautiful
and phenominal woman I've ever met
and I can't get you out of my head

This is not a love poem

and when I think about the way you look at me sometimes
and how I feel when I stare into your captivating eyes,
I feel higher than I've ever been
and my muse forces me to put pen to paper to express these feelings
compelling me to write

So just don't think of this as a love poem
cause if it was, I might just scare you away
cause love is a terrifying word
and I haven't even begun to truly know you yet
but I feel so very lucky to know who you are right now.

So lets just say this is a poem
to let you know how incredible you are
and leave it at that

cause this is not a love poem
even though it sure seems like it.
