I Love You Poem by khanyisile mtshali

I love it when I look into your eyes,
And my stomach is filled with butterflies,
But I hate it when tears fill my eyes,
and that’s when I know that we have to part.

Loving you has made me realise,
That loving is not always about the thrives,
But the peace that fills my life,
When I know that we will never be apart.

I may not be able to write,
But I know what’s in my heart,
And if loving you is a crime,
Then I am prepared to be locked up all my life.

I have never loved the way I love.
And for me it shows that loving is for you and I,
If this is not love that I am feeling then clearly I don’t know what love is,
If this is not love that we are sharing then we both don’t know how love feels.

All in all, what I’m saying is,
I don’t know how to say this but I’ll just come out and say it,
I love you.
