I never knew love
until the first time you said
"I Love You" to me

I never knew joy
until the first time you said
"You make me happy"

I never knew smiles
until the first time you said
"You tickle me love"

I was not complete
until the first time you said
"You make me complete"

I was never me
until the first time you said
"Show yourself to me"

I never opened
until the first time you said
"Open your heart love"

I never had pride
until the first time you said
"I am proud of you"

And it all began
the very first time you said
"I love you" to me

SVEN! A Senryu! [almost...lol...] as you need to remember, Mr. Editor..."syllables as they sound, even when apostrophed..." and that is one of the MOST difficult....

but the sentiment? RIGHT on target! THANK you for this!

This is one of those great poems where I think to myself...."I wish I'd written that."

Great job, Sven.
