Teddy Kimathi Poet Free verse

That's Why I Love You

You have never given up of me;
so many times I have quarreled you,
come home midnight,
denied you love,
refused your meals....

I was so obsessed with my own self
struggle, that I had forgotten there's
someone close to me,
who feels hurt, pain and struggles,
maybe more than I.

You made me shed tears
when you kissed me, and told
me you knew one day I would change
and see your love and sacrifice.

That's why I Love You....
