How come if I don’t love you,

You are always on my mind?

And if I don’t care about you

Why do I worry all the time?

You think its a fallacy, I tell it is true

❤️💙❤️💙

How come if I don’t love you,

I want to fulfil all your dreams

Make them full of only good things

Whatever is within my means

All the comfort that it brings

❤️💙❤️💙

How come if I don’t love you,

I'm your lover and best friend

In this game of life, we play

The person on whom you depend

To get you through each day.

❤️💙❤️💙

So tell me if I don’t love you,

How come you're always on my mind?

And if I don’t care about you

How come we are so intertwined?

❤️💙❤️💙

Till next time,

Calvin

    How beautiful. I wish someone would write a poem like that to me. She is missing so much. It’s sad 😢🌺🌺

    Ah, that old conundrum. Done important questions eloquently woven with poetic precision in a great use of that form. Thought this was very emotionally driven but with great reasoning and questions from one partner to another. Great work
