Love - Please Find Me - a poem

Love –

My heart used to flutter

I used to swoon

My knees would buckle

We grew

    I grew

        I am independent,

            Self-sufficient.

               I can do it myself.

But I don’t want to.

I LOVE YOU.

Sometimes I forget the words

Or say them like a robot,

But deep inside I want to be loved.

I want you to hold me

To make the world better.

My heart loves.

     My body pulls me

          apart. Time has frozen me from you.

Self-sufficient.  I can do it.

I don’t need you,

But I do,

      I do.

        Please hear me.

I don’t even voice it, but I need you to know

To look through it all,

To love me,

      To care for me.

                I LOVE YOU!

                     Please find me.
