A terribly plain poem about love

I love you.

That is all.

My feelings are no longer subdued.

I will mindlessly let myself fall.

I could bask in your gaze until the world collapses

I could hold you until I forget how to breathe

Never again will I feel sane

But I will forever, at the sight of you, feel at ease

I love you.

And that is simple

I would never bore of your heart

I could never forget your hidden little dimples

I have no reckless sentiments towards you, my love

I want to grow old and admire every change in you

I want to live in our very own home and never leave

I want to cook your dinners and wash the dishes too

Sure, my love is plain

Nothing like yourself my darling.

But I love you fully, easily

I love you, and that my dear is everything.

What I wouldn’t give to etch your smile on my mind

I want every little thing I own to smell of you

What I wouldn’t sell to forever stay by your side

I adore every morsel of your being, you sound like a sonnet even when you argue

There is simply nothing you could do to make me despise your soul

I will forever write my sad poems in your name

Your awkward glances and stumbled words make me feel whole

So no matter the price my lovestruck heart and it’s feelings will remain

I refuse to consider a life without your laugh

Or an evening without your rambles

Even that habit of insulting me you’ve always had

Still in my eyes you walk amongst angels

So, in my sort of plain and outward stance

I admit to the world that I love you

So, pardon me and my untidy romance

I have fallen deep, and with someone like you, it is impossible not to.
