Why Do I Love You? Poem by Jem Baker

Why do I love you?

I don’t even want to.

You’re just always there.

To whisper in my hair

“It’ll be alright”

And you keep me safe at night.

You say you love me

But I dunno what to feel.

Endless nights of fighting, pushing and screaming

Makes me ask myself the question

I ask so many times a day

Why do I love you?

And now I know why.



I love you for you.

I can’t live without you.

You’re a part of me now.

So I know why I love you.

But why do you love me?
