Love Me Like That

Everyone asks me that question ...what is love really all about?, The answer to what love is ...is not hard to figure out. Someone to hold me warm and tight when standing on a busy street, bringing me in close...then closer with no intention to move his feet. Even when a beautiful woman strides so confidently by, his arms stay in place around me and he never raises an eye. Most men seek out perfection the model who stands apart, only my man looks beyond that and chases what's in his heart. I want to be loved like that in a way we know is real, expressing our raw feelings too obvious to conceal. Why not let the whole world watch and make them jealous of you and me, just two average people brought together to show how simple love can be.

I have tried to post a comment on one of your poems, Funom, but a "System Error" keeps occurring. I contacted Poetry Soup about this and hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.

Such a tender write and undeniably true. I think there are standards here by which relationships can be gauged.

Thank you once again for taking the time to read and comment on my poems. I appreciate it very much, Mark... I've always found it funny when people who have such high standards wonder why they can't find love. Simplicity really is the key to unlocking true love, I think :)

Oh this was nice! As a poet who writes almost exclusively about the matters of the heart....this poem was very much appreciated. Sometimes it seems like love isn't popular to write about anymore...thanks for this one! MC

Thank you for taking the time to read and comment so kindly, MC. I appreciate that very much... I don't write much on the subject of love, only at times when I'm experiencing it in my own life :)

Kelly, you have so eloquently expressed how true love should be. Your fourth stanza gripped my heart with that warm feeling of love's euphoria.. This is such a beautiful poem and I hope this it is true. 7 ; )

Thank you so much, Joe... I don't really know that much about love. I wrote this poem to express how I think love should be. Just my "ideal" kind of guy, so to speak :)

Hi Kelly! For many love can get pretty complicated, but you show that simplicity is enough to form a true love which is strong enough to keep a relationship on a solid basis! Full marks to these delightful lines! Best regards // paul

Thank you so much, Paul... I think it is so important to show your true feelings and be open with a partner when in a loving relationship. Keep things simple, rather than expect too much from love and it cannot fail.

How lovely that is Kelly, you have hit the nail on the head, that is exactly how love should be, but I am afraid in this world today it's not all like that, I like to think I have a perfect love, thank you for this great read my dear and take care......Vera

Thank you so much, Vera. Its sounds like you have found the perfect love that we are all searching for in life. No, love is not always going to be like it was in the fairytales we grew up reading, but still I hope to find someone who can love me for who I am :)

Hi Kelly, you expect far too little from love. I would love you much deeper for the way you write.I am reading your other ones now

Kelly Deschler
Date: 9/23/2016 1:56:00 PM

Thank you so much, Jannie... I guess I've never really had much luck with love and relationships, so that makes me feel less confident in myself, like maybe I don't have much to offer in a relationship? But, sometimes success at love really doesn't take that much at all...

Yes it is and at times you feel like there is no one else in the world but the two of you... Thank you for your kind comments, Frederic. I appreciate them very much :)
