Love is such a funny thing-
The way it makes you feel.
It makes you feel dependent,
Makes you wonder if it’s real?

It brings you myriad fantasies
Of just how life would be…
If we were but together-
O, if you were here with me!

I know I’d love your accent-
As you would laugh at mine-
Yet even in your mockery,
I’d find you sweet, and kind.

Our lives would be so giddy-
Like teens on their first date-
And life would be a wonder-
Unmarred by fear or hate.

I do not understand it-
Though I know it to be true-
The love I’ve sought, my whole life through
Is personified in you!

Ohhhhhhh how absolutely wonderful, John!  You blow me away!  If you make me any happier, I will burst into a thousand pieces!  All of your poem, right back at you!  You understand me so well, even to knowing that I would never laugh AT you, just WITH you and out of sheer delight!  Thank you for yet another beautiful gift! You spoil me (but please don't stop, lol!)!
