If I told you that I loved you
Would you accept the way that I feel?
Would you open up your heart to me
And let me prove to you that it’s real?
Would you tell me the same
And take the moment seriously?
Or break my heart
And leave mysteriously?
I want you to know the way that I feel
I need to know if what we have is real
If not, what must I say or do
To prove to you how much I’ve fallen in love with you?
There is something in my heart
That I must share with you
Just open up your eyes and see
How much I care for you
There is so much that I feel
Whenever we’re together
And I don’t ever want to lose you
Darling, let’s stay together
I’ll do anything that you ask me to
As long as you are there
To comfort and hold me
With your tender love and care
I’ll show you a world
Where love is a part of life
Not just for a minute
But, for the rest of your life
I’ll always stand beside you
In everything that you do
And whenever you feel unsure
Remember that I love you
You’ll never have to be afraid
Of anything anymore
Just close your eyes and look beyond
Let our love open up another door
To another place in time
That only we will know
A place where we can live as one
Where our fires of love will grow
Let us remember the way
That we feel for each other
For deep down in my heart
There could never be another
To fill my heart and soul
The way that you always do
With endless laughter, joy
And the ability to pursue
Anything and everything
That I have ever wanted in life
Like having you beside me
As a friend, lover, and wife
With every breath that I take
With every passing minute
I’m thinking of way to spend my life
While having you in it
Trips and vacations
To destinations of your heart
Where we can live forever
Where out endless love will start
Where our dreams will become reality
Our work will all be done
And in the end it will be you and me
Looking back on the love that we’ve shone
I really do love you
And everything that you are
The light of my life
You are a shining star
I want you to know that I hold
A place for you in my heart
That is only yours and
Is set so far apart
From every problem, anger, and hurt
It is a special place unlike anywhere on earth
Remember this poem and everything that I have said
Whenever you’re weary or unsure in the days ahead
My heart is yours, oh if you could only see
Just how much I love you and how much you mean to me
I wish that you would let me see what lies within your heart
So that I could learn what it is that is keeping your heart
If you would only stop and try to understand
That there is so much more that I hold inside of my hands
It is a love so pure, honest, and true
That waits so patiently only for you

That was the best love poem that I have EVER read; And that's saying lots as I read love poems for a living(almost). It relates to lots of people, myself included and the emotion oozes out of the screen. I LOVE IT!!!!

Where To Begin
There is so many things that I can say about this piece (and I'm sure that none of it hasn't already been said). To be truthful...this is so beautiful, and truly fitting of option 2, and I want you to know that you are an superb writer, and we'll see what happens. Huh? You never know...you might just be the one to complete me. -
Superb
This is really good, its great that you managed to fit so much into a poem. I think its better to have a poem that lasts long rather than short! The rhyming is mostly really professional, its really hard to rhyme well and avoid it sounding cliche but this was excellent. A great contender, good luck!
-
This is very beautiful and written well.
Thank you for entering and good luck.
-
Great
I really liked this poem. It had a very nice flow to it and It was very sweet. I liked all of it but towards the middle It kind of started to sound like somthing a couple would read to one another at their wedding (which isn't a bad thing). It was very touching. -
a good poem.
-

Good
This was an expressive write, spilling emotions of love all over the page. A lovely and enjoyable read here! "To prove just how much I've fallen in love with you" vs. "To prove to you how much I've fallen in love with you" possibly? Well, I enjoyed it, so either way is just wonderful. Good luck in the contest! ~Tia

YES! I ACCEPT YOUR LOVE!
I decided after the third stanza that I would gladly let you love me
so I am popping in through your computer and giving you a big hug 
and a big kiss 
and I am dancing around the room with you and I will let you share this cake with me 
and oh my goodness, you have written a wonderful poem! WOW!
