Because I Can

you dip into
the deepest edges
of tender
to touch
a heart
where I
have seen
the center
and placed walls
around the rest
yet, you bridge
a change
in me and
I love you
because I can

The special chemistry that "one certain person" is the greatest gift of love.  You've phrased it very well.  KJ

That was definately a feeling that I have felt before.  I love how you arranged the words.  Beautiful work.

You can...for you cannot do otherwise.
Love is who you are...and it shows in your every word.
