Who Is My Beloved? Poem by Raouf Reda

Simply you are the one who looked across my life.
And then made for a second glance
you’re the one who saw something in me.

You're the one who amazed me.
In a single conversation
you’re the one with the story
constantly filling me with admiration

you’re the one who stood beside me
every moment.
You're the one who wanted me with you
No matter what the fight.

You're the one who walked along the river
And wrapped me in your arms
You're the one who kept me warm
While displaying all your charms

You're the one who held my face
As your hands dried away my tears.
You're the one who made my life
nothing but blessings.

You're the one with the smile
That was larger than life
You're the one who could talk to me
And wipe away my strife

You're the one who stayed on my mind
Each and every day
You're the one who stole my heart
Even being so far away.

You're the one who proved a friendship
Was an important part of love
You're the one who displayed it
In every way I could think of

You're the one I loved then
And still love today
You're the one I thank God for
Every night I kneel to pray.
