Why, do I love you?
You asked that everyday.
There's lots of reason's why I do,
in words, it's hard to say.
I love your laugh and smile,
the warmth in your embrace,
the way you wink, the way you stare,
so lovely, with that face.
I love you cause you're trusting,
you'll never say a lie,
you always was so truthful,
and there right by my side.
I love you cause you're caring,
always asking me, "what's wrong?"
You always seem to know my feelings,
that's why our love's so strong.
Why, do I love you?
In words, it's hard to say.
I love you cause you're beautiful,
in every...SINGLE WAY.

Mr. reMARKable (That's right, right?) I must say welcome to the community of poets. And I must congratulate you on this wonderful poem. I have tried to write a poem similar in topic, but I always get bogged down with details. Yet you seem to skip from one to another with great ease, and I am impressed, indeed envious.
I also have to say I'm glad to see you and I have similar writing styles: in verse with punctuation. Again, welcome to the poetry forum; I look forward to reading more of your poems, and I hope you find inspiration here as well

HI, my name is Jasper, and I respect all poets...no matter what I must say to point to diamonds or their flaws.
This piece of your's here, for me only, seems much too close to Elizabeth Barrett Browning's work titled "LET ME COUNT THE WAYS". Now she had a husband whom took advantage of her helpless body, but not her mind and especially never her precious soul?
Hmmmmm.....I hope you do not misunderstand here, as I mean with all respect: but for both you and Dearest Elizabeth, whom I will defend to my very first and last breathe if any misunderstanding should ever be misunderstood to begin with.....or in future
My apology to you here is of necessity, So I am truly Sorry for speaking out: but it's also my strength, never my weakness!
Please just consider and don't bite me here, when I have not actively bitten you!
Love Jasper
PS: This is well written and you are a very talented poet.....but!
I'll speak no more of this matter here, as it is my fault only...not yours!

It did at first remind me of Browning's poem
"How do I love thee? Let me count the way"
So the first line does reminisce, and that's no problem.
Thanks for pointing that out Jasper. I couldn't remember who wrote that poem, and it's always good to read it again.

Dear IG only
Like I said, it's my scar tissue to the author only here...not your's IG the ignorant?
At least respect this authors work as much as I do, not what you think, and let him/her speak for themselves!
Placing EBB poem here has just degraded this authors own, and you IG own an appology by instantly removing it?
I'll appologise on you behalf by saying this here any way, but never to you for this abomination committed upon Remarable's own remakable art only?
Love Jasper
Deareast REMARKABLE:
Please accept my most gracious appology, as it was I who made IG place EBB work here by my simply being here in the first instance!
I will neither read nor comment upon any more of your further works, as my own shame here is now too unforgiveable to only myself!
Love and best wishes always Jasper
Love Jasper

I wish youd told me the aliens arrived. I'd have cooked dinner.

Sorry, nice poem. Must have been abducted as that's what I came to say actually.

Yes, I'm afraid I had a part in that. It really is a lovely poem. I've tried for a long time to write a love poem like that, and I am impressed. Stay around for snacks.

Welcome, reMARKable! You have quite effectively answered a question I have never found the answer to! Good job!

Very nice poem, as well!
~Much Love~
