That Very Strong Feeling Called Love Poem by Eve Young

I used to think that love
Was just a foolish thing
Nor did I believe
On what the others were saying
That to love and be loved
Is the greatest feeling
One would want to live with
And that which completes his being.

I used to tell myself
Never would I love somebody
For it's not a hundred percent
That he will love me truly
Thus
I don't wanna be hurt
Or be left unhappy
So I let them with their thought
Of a selfish me
Selfish to share the love
With someone else
Who's lonely.

In a glance
You caught my eye
Those I used to believe in
Were forgotten
This, of course, is a shame
For them to know
That in a sudden
I liked the feeling of being in love
Which then
I don't wanna happen.

I was tested by my own words
But
Because of you
My heart yells another choice
To hold firm
And take a chance to grab
That very strong feeling
Called
Love.
