A Simple Love Poem

I find no words to express
What I think or what I feel
There is not gratitude enough
To convey what you mean to me

All I can write
All I can do
All I can say
Is love

I love you
I love you more
Than anyone I've ever known
I love you so much
It bears resemblance to joy and pain
I love you not for my selfish gain
I love you in thought
I love you in deed
I love you in charity
I love you in need
I will love you forever
Or I will love you never
I will love you with my all
Or I will love you not at all

Author notes

This piece is not about my girlfriend, my wife or significant other. I have not any of those. This is about a dear friend of mine. This poem is not about romantic love. It is about love.

Beautiful! This is the love that inspires love poems....(wink)

The main reason why I enjoyed this poem so much is because it speaks the truth about simple love.

Props to LOVE!

  Thank you. Your comments are most kind. I never really liked this piece. I thought it was to much like prose and too simple which is why I titled in a Simple Love Poem. I thank you for the encouraging feedback. It's great to know you enjoyed my words and the simple truth conveyed in the piece.
