Love: Often Thought, Seldom Said Poem by Peter Vector

You are not a shadow to me,
No, you are my light and life.
If only I could be with you,
But alas you are but a whispering dream,
And when morning light breaks I seek you.
I scream out your name on city streets and curbs.
The words leave my lips as the emptiness fills my heart;
I’m left gasping for breath and for you.
My world is fallen into chaos and I need you,
To show me how to be whole.

Who gave anyone the right to keep you from me,
To take away what felt so right,
What was my joy, my inspiration, my life, my love?
The place I am meant to be.
You patched my heart.
You loved me so;
I was shown happiness and love that glowed,
Bright red like a crimson rose spotted with the blood of innocence.

I know I love you forever;
I want you to plainly see,
That all it takes is a simple prayer and time to find,
The One for me and forever,
To bring love and life into me.
Now I’ve everything I need,
In this life of beauty and love.
It feels like you are my bright sun;
I to never know a cloudy day.
So I hope you know,
What you’ve done to the soul,
Of your guardian, your protector, and your lover forever.
The one you loved and healed everyday.
The one that would travel across the universe just to see you smiling face.

So now I’ve found honest love, Pure and in Truth.
It’s never over and lasts forever,
As a story that will never end, just like my love.
I hope I can love you as much as you love me,
Every second and moment of everyday.
I think about being by your side,
And I will always know those three words I mean always,
Saying I love you and meaning it in every single way,
Because this is what you deserve if not more.
I want you to know until the end of time,
My voice will ring,
“I love you”.
