No Choice

I love you
From your head to your toes
I love your eyes
I love your nose

I love the way you chat away
I love your nightime
I love your day
I just don't love when you're away

I love to know you.
Even that.
A simple presence
More nonsense chat

I love your heart
Your laugh, your voice
I cannot stop
I have no choice

I'd love to be there
Everyday
To see your tears
But wipe away

I guess red flags
Will wave and yet
I'd even love
Your scowl un-set..

I'd rather love
To make you smile
And hold you gently
All the while

And whisper comfort
In your ear
"You're fine, it's safe
My love.. is here"

Poem brought fluctuations to my heartbeat as it brought back memories of caring times. It's often the little things that make us feel the importance of another.
