Chapter 1: "You are Beautiful"
I have never been a man of love,
In my fifteen years of life, I have always been indifferent.
But if Love walked into my life,
I'm sure I would know it was Love.
Love has kind eyes and always wears a tender smile.
Love has long wavy hair that falls gently down her back.
Love plays the violin and knows all my favorite Shakespeare sonnets.
But most importantly, Love is always by my side.
Love is never too far from me,
So that I can always protect her.
But when I finally found love,
She had short black hair with eyes as cold as ice.
Love hated the violin and didn't know a lick of Shakespeare.
Love was always trying to run away.
Love was always protecting me-
When I should have been protecting her.
But love grew,
Grew into something I could no longer live without.
Love gave me a purpose.
When Love has had a hard day,
I will tell her, "You are beautiful"
When Love has just finished crying,
I will tell her, "You are beautiful"
When Love has just woken up,
I will tell her, "You are beautiful"
When Love doesn't want to hear it,
"You are beautiful"
When Love doesn't believe it,
"You are beautiful," I will say,
"Don't you ever forget it."
And in return, Love gives me security.
Love sees right through me,
Through the pain and hurt,
And cuts through them all
To pull me up-
To stand next to her, side by side.
Love has changed my world.
And all I can give love,
When loneliness is reflected in her eyes,
When her own self-doubt and inadequacies threaten to consume her,
When her past continues to haunt her,
With conviction in my eyes and all the truth I can muster,
I will give her these words,
"You are beautiful"
And I hope, that is enough.
Author's Note: My first attempt at FF. I chose to do a poem, inspired/based off of Sarah Kay's When Love Arrives. To anyone reading this, I would love a review, or any opinion on this.
