I do, I do.

I love him. I do. I sincerely do. One day it won’t even matter, nothing will have mattered and we will all be lost- forgotten. Our story will be the dusty book in the crumbling attic of an abandoned house. A jewel dropped into the ocean's abyss.

No one will know or remember or have cared that I love him. It won't matter that he watered me with his words and his affection and helped me flourish into the light. All signs of me, him, and us will disappear into sweet oblivion. Our love will be engulfed by the void-

fading into obscurity with the earth trailing behind it.

Perhaps this doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t have to make sense,

that’s the funny thing about love- the beauty of it. It doesn’t make sense and it never will. 

Love doesn’t asked to be felt, and we don’t ask to feel love,

Until we do

And then we can’t lose it,

Unless it’s already lost.

But he’s not lost anymore and I love him.

I love him and perhaps that makes me weak, perhaps it makes me the lamb.
But if I’m a lamb and love is my shepherd and he is the lion, then all should be okay,

do you concur?

Until the epic plot twist where the lion brutally murders the lamb, clawing out its heart

But

All the while I’ll still love him,

And it may hurt but I don’t care

And I’ve said it so much but at the same time not quite enough, that being

I love him, I do. I sincerely do.

I usually don't fancy love poems even my owm -_- but love is felt how you said and for that reason the love poem is necessary and I'm glad this wasn't cheesy or forced I also feel its important to point out how how sorrowfully beautiful the tone of this is and how it is almost told from a concious yet stubbornly innocent view point overall great write

thank you so so much, i'm glad you were able to enjoy it despite the fact you aren't usually a big fan of love poems.
