Why Do I Love You?

Your eyes look at my eyes
Your fingers touch my fingers
You smile, I’m flattered;
A simple beginning of love
 

Because
Your love is no more than a morning
That always wakes (me) up

You open the net of my heart,
You pour the wine into my cup,
Two centimeter from the bottom,

‘I don’t want you to be drunk’, you said

Because

Your love is no more than light that
Accompanies the night

No enchant chain of words,
My words sink into your hugs
Your words are foundered in my hands’ reach,
Your heartbeats thunder my chest, explode but does not
Scratch, ripples but does not become waves,
Moves softly,

loses my eyes and your eyes in the beauty
That does not soar

Because

Your love is no more than a swallow of water that
Quench my thirst

You do not let my sorrow becomes cry,
You do not let my laugh makes me be forgetful,

You never put stocks in my leg so that

I can walk, run,
You never tie chains in my hands,
So that I can hold the world,
To materialize hope,

because

Your love is the blanket that calms me

Because

Your love is the blanket that calms me

You let me:
Go and come in your poem
To choose the lyrics to write my story

Because
Your love is the wind that guides me
You liberate me
Into an independent soul

That’s why
I love you
Indeed…
