Why Do I Love You Poem by Shankaran Kutty

Why do I love you?
I love you for your sweet smile
That I haven’t seen for a while
That leaves all sorrows in its wake
Won’t you smile again for my sake

Why do I love you?
I love for your tender heart
That would pain me if I were to part
That has stolen my being, my thought
I would win it again with all I have got

Why do I love you?
I love you for your kind words
That is the sweetest I have heard
That has soothed me in my times of strife
Has made you a most loving wife

Why do I love you?
I love you for your noble deeds
That has left me awestruck indeed
For like a golden star does it shine
Has made me proud that you are mine

Why do I love you?
I love you for your tender care
That with me and kids you daily share
Your alluring presence when you are near
Your comforting hug, when you spot a tear

Why do I love you?
I love you because you are the air I breathe
You are the fragrance that does my body wreathe
You are the flower that floats down the stream
You are the one who fills my every dream

Why do I love you?
You are as pretty as a monsoon rainbow
You are the only love that I do know
In my garden, the prettiest flower
In this world, you are my only lover

Why do I love you?
I love you because you are my love
You are my past, my future, my now
I love you because I know no other way
You are the only one, come what may.
