You and I I love you without reason and without fault. I see you and me with hurt, pain, and unspoken secrets passed between invisible distances. Always crying are you and I, you one way and I the other, the rivers merging in the middle. Laughter is the rain refreshing dry hearts allowing them to hurt and to love all over again. Only you and I can understand what makes us so much more... I love you without questions and without blame. Troubles pass under bridges while we stay the same. Born to live with you... choosing to love you, with no exceptions. You cry diamonds, I’ll shed some rubies... and the richer we will be. Hold on tight or just let go. The days will keep coming without fail. Love swallows everything... We cannot drift apart. Only you and I can understand what makes us so much more... I love you without regret and without doubts. Nothing could flow so right. When you need it, I will swim to you through the tears ... I promise. I love you without reason and without fault. I love you without questions and without blame. I love you without regret and without doubts. Only you and I can understand what makes us so much more... than sisters. "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." |

an emotional piece that was quite nice and fluid. it started off almost as a poem to a lover with it's intimacy that I was caught off guard by the ending being to a sister. once the ending was read though, it made the little things fall together and blend better than it did at the first read. surprisingly beautiful poem. |

Thanks everyone for your comments! Is it just me, or do you guys find that the more you love someone the harder it is to write them a poem? What words do you pick? Frustrating, but worth it. "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." |
