I'Ll Never Let You Go

I have always been afraid of loving
something so much,
with the knowledge that one day
it will leap away from my grasp.

I have always been afraid of falling
in love,
with the knowledge that love breaks
really hurt when they happen.

I based my living on indifference;
giving empty kisses, hollow embraces,
and dead, poetic words.

It is by finding you,
that I felt what's really like to get
what is beautiful, and never dies;
your sweet nature made me fall
in love you,
giving me the reason to never ever
let you go,
and my reason for living being love!

At times it is not easy to open your heart and let love in, but we need to learn to trust others just a little bit... I enjoyed reading this lovely poem, Teddy. Very well written and expressed!
