Loving You Poem by Roberto Echanes

How strange and mysterious!
Your charming smile makes me delirious,
Sweet enchantress you beguile my soul,
With your spell divine
which enthralls my wandering mind.

In the treasure box of my heart
I keep this secret love
But loving you hurts so much,
Because my love is such
that in the core of my heart,
I certainly know
that Cupid’s love arrow,
pierces with sweetness ‘n sorrow.

But real love will always be,
A painful one-way alley,
True love is selflessly giving;
no expectations, no return,
And loving you is pure joy,
and tomorrow’s hope,
perhaps one day you’ll know,
that love’s beyond weal and woe.
