Short Love Poems

When

By Paul Lawthorpe

When I see your smile once more
I will know you are here,
For my eyes would have seen
When I touch your hand once more
I will know it is true,
And no longer a dream
When I hold you close once more
I will know you have come,
To be here with me
When I kiss you softly once more
You will know that our love
Was destined to be.

A final thought

A poem can stay with you long after the page is closed.
