Love Poem: Why

Why

The first time I looked in your eyes I knew, 
I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, 
You’re the light in the stars,	 
The wheels on my car,
 The rainbow on a cloudy day,
You find my words when I don’t know what to say,	
My knight shining armor when I get stuck,	
You bring me good luck,	
You told me loved me and I was your world,	
You fell in love with my baby girl,
You make me laugh when I wanna cry,	
You take your time kissing me goodbye,	
When the phone rings I pray you’re on the other end,
I say what I mean and don’t think twice before hitting send,
I thought we were gonna grow old together,	
Threw nice and stormy weather, 
But today it all changed,
My life flipped and rearranged,	
I loved you with my whole heart,	
I cry all day since we been apart,	
Waited all this time,	
For one call to say goodbye!
