Believer In Love

I spent most of my life believing 
That love was a needless emotion 
It was only hurt and disappointment 
Guiding me to believe in this notion

Then something changed when I met you 
This feeling like none I've ever known
Maybe it was the passion in your eyes 
Or the tenderness that your heart shown 

Each day with you was proof to me 
Love is what my heart did feel
And love was anything but needless 
It was something meaningful and surreal 

Now I never want a day to pass
That will leave you with any doubt 
Of how much your love means to me 
Or what my love for you is about 

This passion and love inside me
Continues to grow stronger by the day
Making me want to prove my love
And I will somehow someway 

Know that at times I will struggle
Love is something new for me
But what we have between us 
Is made to last for an eternity

the rhyme scheme of your poem was smooth. Your poem touched me. Until I met my now hubby, I found love elusive. I had decided I didn't need love, but.... Welcome to Poetry Soup. I'm new as well. Plan on reading more of your poems and commenting. Perhaps you can read a few of mine and comment. A new poetess, "yellow"
