When the clouds have swept the sun away,
just when we planned a hike..
When we're pulled apart by distance,
just when a hug feels right.
When sickness drags me to bed..
Even on your Birthday..
When we go to the movies,
and we take an hour to choose the film..
When sneaking out lightens our minds,
the fear of the dark always holds us back.
When the phone line disconnects,
and calling back will wake our parents..
When the moment is perfect,
and our lips somehow miss..
When a mishap has me falling from your arms,
and not in the metaphorical way..
When the waves are too small for us to surf..
after driving for so long.
When everything is so unpredictable and so very unique..
I'm falling in love with you more.
Imperfect Love. No rules.
Just whatever makes you laugh..
Author notes
This poem is about the love and friendship that I have for my boyfriend, Alex. I tried to express mostly that love is not just one standard thing, and comes differently to everyone. Happy reading!

Hey Annie,
I'm baaack!!
This was so beautiful, I can't comment with dignity on something as this, because I know it was raw and heartfelt and my words wouldn't do it justice.
Hope you're not forgetting me!

wonderful love poem
well, you know what they say - a poet's not a poet until they write a love poem.
i'm sure the person you wrote this for will love you even more because of this wonderful present.
& i admire the way you were able to paint a little portrait of the two of you together. some of your details are excellent:
When the clouds have swept the sun away,
just when we planned a hike..
or this one:
When the waves are too small for us to surf..
after travelling for forty-five minutes.
& i like the humour & irony here:
When the moment is perfect,
and our lips somehow miss..
& this couplet which gives the reader a good clue about your ages:
When the phone line disconnects,
and calling back will wake our parents..
they say that using vivid images and providing evocative details are two necessary ingredients for a poet. well, you have them both...
my only suggestion is to change the last verse which is in three lines. the rest of the poem is in couplets (which i thought was a romantic technique to use).
Imperfect Love. No rules.
Just whatever makes you laugh..
all the very best,
myron.

Oh, applause.
This is true love-- profuse apologies for that disgusting two word cliche, but it really is.
