Love is the way I smile when I hear your voice.
Love is the way I struggle to catch my breath whenyou enter the room.
Love is the way my heart pounds in my chest at the mention of your name.
Love is the way my eyes sparkle when I am with you.
Love is the way I miss you when I haven't seen you in just a couple hours.
Love is the way I want to spend every minute with you.
Love is the way I say silly things just to see you smile.
Love is the way I would do anything to make you happy even if it meant sacrificing my own happiness.
Love is the way I feel about you.

This is a poem that I wrote for my boyfriend but haven't given it to him. I don't know if I want to or not. I want him to know how I feel but at the same time I won't want to scare him off.

Thank you so much. I do love him more than anything in the world. I don't know what I would do without him. He is my whole world. It probably doesn't sound true and people are probably thinking it's just a phase because people don't believe you can be in love at 17 but you can.
