Since Meeting You....

Since Meeting You

I Know that Love

Is the Most Important Feeling

One Can Have

I used to think

that love was only real in the movies

and that I enjoyed being alone

I used to think

that I was too independent

that I didn't need anyone

because I was so strong

But after meeting you

I realize that my attitude

towards love

was merely a cover-up of

my disappointment with relationships

I put on a strong, noncaring front

so no one would know how I felt

But after meeting you

I could no longer pretend

My feelings became transparent

and now I want to tell the world

something I always knew but

was afraid to admit

that love is the most important

feeling one can have

and I want to thank you for

causing me to be honest

with myself and others

I Love You!!!
