The Way I Love You Poem by Ashley Bachtel

I have to wonder if its even healthy for me to love you the way that I do. Especially when you belong to someone else. How much pain can one person take? How much weight can one person bear on their heart before it actually breaks? I know you like I know myself and I love you for every bit of your heart and soul. I can't get you off of my mind no matter how hard I try, and I know its something so much more than just a crush or lust because I can see myself spending everyday of the rest of my life with you. I want to kiss you and hold you and fight with you and then make up because I know that at the end of the day, you are the only person who could ever have this effect on me. Most days I can go about my day and smile as if nothing is wrong, like my heart isn't aching for you and like my every moment is spend wishing for you to feel the same way, but other days I'm just not strong enough. I don't know. I guess that is just the way I am. So this is why they call it 'falling in love'? Because the falling takes your breath away, but once you hit the ground it hurts so much you just don't want to get back up. So won't you catch me? Please...?
