If I

If my eyes are butterflies that only find solace on your face 
If my hands  are turtle doves that are always seeking the warmth of your chest 
If for you I have changed my guilty ways
if I wait anxiously for our coffee mornings every weekend my boy. 
Now that I think of it , I love you more 
Each day , 
I love everything of you 
I love your eyes that talk to me sometimes with a little reproach 
And those white teeth reflecting in the mirror of your car 
And the time you told me you were a real man
And the way you love me as the whole real woman that I am . 
I know I don’t say it enough, but that’s simply who I am . 
All I can say is that I love you more than this young girl loves coffee.

Nice! This poem had me from beginning to the very end. And now excuse me, am going to make me a cup of coffee. Thanks for sharing!

Awwn when a coffee lover declares that they love someone more than coffee that truly is true love: this made my heart smile: so sincere and beautiful. Pleasure reading
