“Why I Fall In Love With You” Falling in Love Poems

Since I met you,
I’ve fallen in love with you
at least a hundred times
for a hundred different reasons.
Sometimes I fall in love with you
when I watch you doing something you enjoy,
something you’re so involved in that
you’re unaware of my presence.
Sometimes I fall in love with you
when I listen to you talk to other people.
Whether you’re being interesting and funny
or warm and caring and genuinely concerned,
you have a way of making people feel better
with nothing more than words.
Sometimes I fall in love with you
just thinking about you,
remembering all the memories we’ve made…
falling in love for the first time,
staying in love during the rough times,
finding more to love about each other every day.
And whenever I think about
the wonderful things that lie ahead of us,
I fall totally and completely in love with you
all over again.

“Distant” Falling in Love Poems

I can’t see you
I can’t smell you
I can’t touch you
And I can’t feel you
But, somehow, I know you’re there.

A distance, so brutally far
A feeling, so uncomfortably near
It fills me with want and desire
And I realize- I must not conspire.

I cannot think and can’t imagine
I fear if I do it will make me closer
While you remain out of reach
And probably with someone else…
I know I could be her… if I was there.

I can’t see you
I can’t smell you
I can’t touch you
And I can’t feel you
But, somehow, I know you’re there.

I long to hear your voice once more.
In the past it filled me with exhilaration
And then left me in despair.
Fill my soul once more with your proper tone
And then jerk it away, as we say, “So long”.

I want to know feelings I never felt before
But will I ever experience your gentle touch again?
Or your warm breath against my neck,
As you solemnly whisper, “I love you, I need you.”

But………….

I can’t see you
I can’t smell you
I can’t touch you
And I can’t taste you
But, somehow, I feel I could.

Why does my heart beat so rapidly
At one little thought of you?
Why do I need for you to touch me, hold me
Press your sweet, warm body to mine?
Oh, give me pleaures I could never know….

I want you to teach me the wonders
I’ve never known and take me to levels
Never seen before by my quivering soul.
Suck me in, let me drown…..
It would be like a baptism…… my heart with yours.

I can’t see you
I can’t smell you
I can imagine
And I can’t touch you.
Somehow I feel we’re beyond that.

We are two- united from the start
Meant to teach, to love, to comfort, and caress.
I could never let go of you
Even though there is nothing to grasp.

Even if it fades over time
It could never fade completely
And, one day, when I do see you…..
I’ll feel it’s you, I’ll know it’s you
The love, pain, worries, and curiosity
Will run through me once again.

Then…..

I Will see you
I Will smell you
I Will feel you
I Will taste you
But, somehow… it won’t be the same.

“I Thought I Must Give Up on Life” Falling in Love Poems

I thought I must give up on life
And turn into a stone;
The desert wind quite suited me:
No heart, no mind–just bone.

I thought it would be dumb to try
To want something again;
Wanting turns to need, and then
Transmogrifies to pain.

I laughed at people still in love
Who trusted someone’s word;
To make my happiness depend
On faith seemed quite absurd.

I lay alone and wonder-struck,
Sleepless in my bed,
Still numb, still dumb, still ice, ice cold,
Not knowing I was dead.

And then you came and shone upon
My meadow full of snow,
And saw the flowers only love
Could recognize and grow;

And made me feel so beautiful
I shed my cold, cold skin,
And opened up my heart to you,
And, fearful, let you in.

And now, my dear, I am in love,
With all that I’ve been through.
I know the worst of all the world,
And I believe in you.
