I believe...
Not because I was drawn to a face, but because of who he is inside.
I believe...
Not because of a hand I don't hold, but because he holds me close anyway.
I believe...
Not because he holds me in his arms when I cry, but because he comforts me just the same.
I believe...
Not because of the voice I hear from far away, but because hearing it lifts me up.
I believe...
Not because of how we make love, but because that is exactly what we are doing.
I believe...
Not because of a touch or a kiss, but because of a feeling and a desire.
I believe...
Not because of an image I don't have, but because of what I do see, in him and he in me.
I believe...
Not because he is a faceless man, but because he loves me in a way I thought was only true in stories and poems, and so, my heart belongs to him.
I believe...

Great write, best of luck with everything! -
my favorite types of poems are the ones that can say so much when so little is written. Great job!
-

I like the creativity in this piece and how you describe your feelings based on how someone else feels. It is unique and thanks for the read.

I see you affirming a relationship of essences; not based on traditional means and ways. In a way you gift each other; can be perfect
Not damaged by the reactions to the cares of the world; scalded by the things that slip out of surprised frightened mouths. Keep an expectancy; but avoid expectations... -
great job
I really enjoyed your writing I'm glad you believe it's good to know people still believe well good write keep up the good work

I think this poem attempts to convey a wonderful message. I had to read "I believe" to understand what you are trying to do here. In reading your poem, stanzas two through seven seemed awkwardly written to me. But I read other's comments and most people seem to find it more than satisfactory. I think my standards are just hopelessly old fashioned.
-
honestly, I don't quite understand this poem. yet I wish you the best. thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

Great
It's a very impressive write.
I really enjoyed reading this.
It has nice wording in it, and the words made a nice flow.
-
Massively spectacular in its simplicity. [kinda like "Jumbo shrimp"] - lol
Seriously, this should make any man it is spoken to or read for, or read by... feel good. and I especially like the line:
"Not because of how we make love, but because that is exactly what we are doing."
Some might criticize this for being "sappy" or re-wording someone else's thoughts... but I can tell this came from your heart... and that makes it real
Kudos!
Write On!

i love your wording...its a beautiful peice -
I believe...
Not because of a touch or a kiss, but because of a feeling and a desire. This is what it's all about. It's the spirit not the physical aspect of love that really lifts one up. Nice job! I like it!
-
Moving
It is nice to know that there is true love still out there somewhere.
-
It's a very lovely message. I would ahve iked to see a tad more uniformity (sylibles staying consistent) but tha's just a pet peve of mine.
All in all not a bad write. Keep writing!
-
pretty good
Simplicity in literature is always one of the best ways to relay a message. You did it masterfully. Good poem. -
This is a beautiful poem! I like how you tell us that it isn't just physical things, but how he makes you feel. I think my favorite part is the last line about how you thought that it was only true in poems and stories. It really does speak of love and happiness. It is a beautiful poem! Great job and keep on writing!

they say faith is when we don't have evidence yet we believe...and when there is faith in love, it is truly beautiful such as your words.

I appreciate how this coincides with She Believes. Either you share a powerful bond iregardless of the obstacles, your both talented writers, or a little bit of A and B. I am still entranced by what I see and will continue to read your work.
