Love Grows Poem by chidiebere franklin

The days seem longer

My love grows stronger

The distance between you and I

The miles make me want to die

We screwed up in the beginning

I never wanted there to be an ending

Another marriage, another divorce

That was my thinking, of course

You finally opened your heart

You decided we should never be apart

A fresh start at a brand new life

One with less crying and strife

A new love has started to grow

Every day love is what you show

With you standing by my side

I'm finally ready for life's little ride

So take me baby, I'm all yours

Now, I sit here and count the hours

Longing to be in your arms

Smiling at the thought of your charm

Butterflies in my belly

Like a little’ girl, I feel silly.
