                    Because


because it isn’t
                            about
                                         reasons
because I don’t
                            have to ask
                 myself                   the why
because I know
                           when I want
             to say                     reasons
                       they are there
because I discover
                      all of these
               reasons             as I go along
                         already loving you
because I love you
                      without       reason
            without       need of     reason
because the reasons
                           come
               without      thought or   call
because I realize
                              know
                       none are      needed
because I love you
                 simply love you
                                   that is why

Ed....love just is, because!  There is sweetness in this, and although it sounds simple, it isn't.

It is so woven, like your poem, that it feels simple to the touch.

Well crafted, sir.

This one should leave your lady beaming, my friend... for the beautiful words speak a deep and abiding love. *S*

I love the way the form reflects the multitude of reasons that don't need to be listed...they're just there... and the one word encompasses them all. *S* Excellent work! *S*

Hey, I like this style on you too
and the words that you wrote into it.
