You asked a question
One rainy day,
“Why do I love you?”
I didn’t know what to say.
I tried to think
Of what words to use
To explain why your friendship
I did so choose.
To explain the word friendship
For us two –
What it means to me
May not mean to you.
Nevertheless,
I am trying to find
An answer to your question
With forethought and rhyme.
I’ve looked back
On things we’ve shared.
Some things we’ll never tell,
And I wouldn’t dare!
You’ve always been there
Whether far or near;
Maybe not like I’d hoped,
But always held dear.
So, why do I love you?
It’s clear to ME.
But the real question is
Why do you love me?
