SOMETIMES LOVE HAPPENS LIKE THIS

I’ve looked and I’ve searched,
Every book, school and church,
For the words to describe,
What you mean to me,

Of all the poems and songs,
So many, close but wrong,
None share the feelings of,
How this love came to be,

Sometimes love happens like this,
A word, a touch or a kiss,
I’m not sure why you love me,
The way that you do,
But be sure that I’ll always love you,

When you smile at me,
In you eyes I can see,
All the power of a heart
Full and true,

When you kiss me goodnight,
And you snuggle up tight,
Makes me so glad
I fell in love with you,

Sometimes love happens like this,
A sigh, a look or a kiss,
I’m not sure why you love me,
The way that you do,
But I’m sure that I’ll always love you,

Now that we’ve found each other,
We’ll never want for another,
For what we have,
Is a bond of the heart,

We may fight stormy weather,
But we’ll face it together,
For there’s nothing,
That could pull us apart,

Sometimes love happens like this,
A smile, a tear or a kiss,
I don’t know how it happened,
But this one thing is true,
I do know, I will always love you,

There is a beautiful heart flow in this and gratitude for the gift of love.

Beautiful.

Love,

Excellent poem! Love is a very abstract emotion, in which it is very hard to accurately define it.
