Ashleigh Hood Poet Free verse

The First I Love You

It’s old,
It’s cliché.
It’s overused,
And therefore,
Underappreciated.
But that doesn’t mean
It’s not true.
And so,
From the bottom of my heart,
I love you.
I love you so much.
I trust you with my life.
I would do anything for you
And I’m definitely
Not going to leave you.
I’m going to be here with you 
Through everything
Because you give me a feeling
That no one else can.
You make my heart light up
And my eyes skip.
You confuse my feelings 
Until I'm filled with nothing
But love for you.
Your touch is exhilarating,
Your smile is intoxicating.
I find everything I need
In your love.
