Love Poem

Poem For Sharon

Why is it that some people who find love,
handle it with such carelessness?

Some people search for love all their lives.
When it is found, why put it down and forget about it,
only to realize how much it meant when it is gone?

When you find love, hold on to it,
celebrate its feelings,
drown in them every day,
be consumed by them...

I am consumed by you Sharon.

I will never set aside my love.
I will never look for it only when it is lost.

I love you.
I will show you and tell you every day.
