In Love: A Poem About a Young Woman's Romanticism of Her Crush

I'm in love with you.

Never knew that one day I would meet

Someone who I admire beyond the outside.

Never knew that this could happen to me.

When I'm alone, I think of you...constantly.

My mind is drenched with the memories

Of how you respect me, love me without even

Touching me, and how you look into my eyes

And see beyond the darkness of my irises.

Your presence makes my body tremble with fear.

Fear? Not afraid fear, but fear out of respect

Yet sometimes I am afraid of you. Or is it

That I'm afraid of being with you?

Disappointment has creeped into my life in the past

Disguising itself as an angel of love but revealed

Its truth like a heartless beast. I'm not disappointed

In you as of yet. I don't think I will ever be

Disappointed in you.

I admire you! I love you! You respect me, listen

To me, and most of all you challenge me.

You are handsome to me. Even when age comes

Upon us with our great-grandchildren in tow,

You will always be handsome to me.

I admire you, I enjoy you, I respect you...

I'm in love with you, always.
