Why do I love you as I do? <br />You caused a stirring in my soul <br />When first you offered me your heart, <br />And then my own heart you stole <br /> <br />Why do I love you as I do? <br />Your warmth weaves joy through my day, <br />When you're not close, even a prayer <br />Cannot hasten despair away <br /> <br />Why do I love you as I do? <br />To my shore you came like a wave <br />Bringing life to my dying heart, <br />While others brought flowers for my grave <br /> <br />Why do I love you as I do? <br />Affection chains me to your heart, <br />I waste no effort to escape, <br />These links will not be torn apart <br /> <br />Why do I love you as I do? <br />Could my heart ever forget? <br />Though you made me your prisoner, <br />I surrendered with no regret <br /> <br />Why do I love you as I do? <br />Why does the setting sun kiss the sea? <br />The angels know the reason why..... <br />Loving you is my destiny<br /><br />Lora Colon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-love-you-because-17/
