Poet’s Showcase: Love

I love you.

I have always loved you.

I will always love you.

Even before I saw you

I loved you.

Even before I met you

I loved you.

I loved the thought of you

And I loved the idea of you.

Then I met you and

I fell in love with you

When we parted

I loved you

I still love you.

Even in death

I will love you.

I will always love you.
