Just To Love You Poem by tora keo

When we were little,
I would share my milk with you
before we took our naps;
...just so I could play with you.

When we were teens,
I listened as you talked about your boyfriends,
(and thought of us together):
...just to ease your mind.

When we grew older,
I helped you move into his house
(and wished you were going to mine):
...just to make you comfortable.

When you got married,
I gave my best friend away
(and kept my heart hid):
...just to see you happy.

As you lay there, so very sick,
I whisper how beautiful you are
(because it's still true):
...just to see you smile.
