I Love You Not Because

I love you not because you love me..
Not because you are perfectly fine..
Neither because it's you I always see
Nor because I want to call you mine..

I love you not because you are pretty
Your face is not a factor of what I feel
I love you not because you are sexy
Your body is really not a big deal..

I love you not because your are smart
Not also because you have achievements
I love you not because of others remarks
Not because of all the shared moments..

I love you because you are an answered prayer..
You are a gorgeous piece of forever..

Such a beautiful written poem it is, I really like the last two lines especially the one I love you because you are an answered prayer, yu sre so right,we shouldn't love anyone just because of thier looks, personality, position or anything else but on the factor that is that person really the one for you, did he truly love you and can make you smil, good luck and congrats on your well deserved poem

Thank you Faraz, yes indeed love is beyond what eyes can see, our skin can feel or touch or what we can smell. Love is beyond our senses. Love is a gift given. A prayer answered.
