What I Love About You Poem by Claire Ann Sansolis

What I love about you are your eyes
It speaks so many wonders
The first time I saw them
they have captured my heart

I love your smile even if you mentioned once
That they lost it’s grandeur
then you smiled and showed your teeth
mockingly thinking I will not like them

Secretly and to my surprise,
I love your teeth including the missing ones
I love your smile and the look that completes
who you are

I love your way of sharing things
Because I want to amaze my mind
Not with simple thoughts but with greatness
and that is how I see you are

I love your discipline
I love your being consistent
I love your simplicity
I love your brilliance
I love your voice
I love your laugh
I love your hands
I love your kindness

I love the way my friends think of you
I envy them because you can share to them
No holds barred you have fun with them

I am jealous when you talk to them
and you ask how they are
when you never asked about me
or at least not in front of me

Nevertheless you take my breath away
Your brilliance, your dreams,
Your focus, your interests
Your past, your poetry
Your flaws, your aspirations
Your hurts, your pain
Everything about you
I freely embrace

If this is love then let it be
I will love you more
even in my silence
I will wait
