Love Letter Poem by sreedevi sadasivan

You look at me with wonder when I am all dressed up for a party
Like I am the most beautiful thing you have seen
And you look at me in wonder when I wake up in the morning,
My hair all messed up and my makeup ruined
And I ask you what you are looking at
But you stay silent with a smile
I never realized how long the park roads we used to walk were.
I never realized that half the park lights on road didn't work, that it looked dark, gloomy and lonely,
till I walked it without your hands holding mine.
I always kept my mind shut from you to hide all the little cracks and imperfection
Coz I thought you would get scared and run
But you chose to wait with patience and when you finally got in
It's like you fell in love with all the cracks too
You never judged me when I was afraid sometimes to do the right thing,
Or when I chose to run
Coz you could see that deep inside I was brave
and deep inside I was good
I never realised the void in me till you filled me up
and now don't leave me to be filled with emptiness again
And I love you so much, coz you taught me to love myself
