Love Poem: Butterflies

Butterflies

I love you
That’s what we’ve said,
for the past 20 years
But, is it what we mean?
I don't know, I'm confused.
Maybe we do mean it,
maybe we don't.

Some days I love you,
you’re my whole world, my everything.

You glance at me and grin.
While, I just look away

You always tell me you’re in love,
but how do I really know?
You could be lying, and
that frightens me. 

So, I just look at you and grin. 
And I say I love you, but
what does that mean?

What does it mean?
We all think of it different, 
You might love me,
like I love my dog.
But. I love you. 
Like Noah loves Allie. 

When you look at me and smile,
I get this uncomfortable feeling in my stomach.
Butterflies. 
I think that's what they’re called. 
It is a weird feeling,
But, I guess that means 
I love you.
