To The Love Of My Life Poem by Samah Khan

I have loved you for a while now,
And I know what it is like to love;
I have felt it for a while now
Yet it can never be enough-

I have learnt to laugh when the world is humorless
I have learnt to find joy at your hands;
I enjoy basking in your memory, I confess,
I enjoy making mundane plans.

I have known you for a while now,
And everything that I know, I love;
I have needed you for a while now,
And that need is never enough-

I love smiling when I hear your name
I love knowing that you do the same
I like what we are and what we could be
I like your heart better with me

I have wanted you for a while now,
Through wind and rain and strife
I have wanted to say this for a while now:
You are the love of my life

I love you :)
