A Love Poem

I found my sister browsing ametuer poem writers and their pieces of work. This isn't the best piece of work, but I liked this poem.

I love the way you smile,
I would sit around and wait awhile.
I love the way you always look,
Our love is like a fairytale in one of those books.
I love the way you shine,
I like knowing the fact you are all mine.
I love hearing your voice everyday,
Around you, I never run out of things to say.
I love looking into your eyes,
When you’re not around all I can do is let out sighs.
I love being kissed by you,
I know my love for you is very true.
I love being there right by your side,
I cant wait for that day when I will be your bride.
I love how we are never apart,
You will always be right here in my heart.
I love the way you hold me,
I love listening to every single one of your stories.
I love everything about you,
Most importantly, I Love You!!!!!

I don't know why I liked this poem. Initially, this poem is a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship sort of tone. But if thought about it, this could slightly be applied to a sibling relationship. I think that to say "I Love You" is to say "I am loyal to you, will help you out in anyway possible, and I admire you for something." I can't really elaborate on this thought right now for some reason. But maybe I'll elaborate this later.

Poetry.
Another way for any person can express themselves. I think it could be thought of as the more conventional way. A writer doesn't have to worry about general grammar that rules over paragraph/paper writing. They can have double or hidden meanings in their poem as a whole or by lines, stanzas, or words. Ironic, my current thought: a poet has more structural freedom. Maybe it can be thought of as the Romantic music era when compared to essay writing (if this is thought of as the Classical era)—there is more feeling without restraint of complete or run-on sentences.

Right now, I'm repeating myself. I'll leave it as that.
