My love for you grows
Like a great kudzu vine
Unchecked by space
Unhindered by time

My mind never stops
The wheels ever turning
My heart and my soul
Are for you always yearning

The insecurity I feel
Is something quite new
I've bared my soul to none
As I've bared it to you

Everything that you say
Everything that you do
weighs on my mind
I don't know what to do

Are you still holding back
Do you still have reservation
Should I express myself more
Should I show my elation

It would help if I knew
what's going on in your mind
I don't expect all at once
Just a bit at a time

Liked that verse most of all.
It's hard to know, and harder to say.

Good work joe~

What a nice love poem. How could anyone expect more than this? It's hard to open up, and the other person doesn't, but maybe soon.

That is an adorable photo of you and your daughter ~ and the poem is adorable as well!
~ So sweet, unassuming and tender.

Warm hugs,
