To Know You

by Meena Krish   Mar 14, 2014


To have known you
all these years and more,
it has made me realize
love is not born easily,
it blooms from forgiveness
and understanding,
fed with compassion
nurtured with trust,

To have known you
all these years and more,
it has made me realize
without realizing,
a heart full of you
holds me near

and I say
without saying...

I love you

with every forming
tear.

    I love this!

    The idea that love just doesn't happen, remain the same, never changing, and is flawless. Love is all the things you say, having to communicate with each other, voice opinions, worries and concerns. I like how you use the idea of something like trust, but then give it a part, like blooming, fed, then nurtured. all very key ingredients. I think forgiveness is so important because if we never forgive, we are never moving on, accepting the past, and accepting that person for the mistakes they make.

    I really like your second stanza, repeating the same line to start withm, and then adding a line that you realized, without realizing! This is so true. Sometimes we just suddenly click on to something, become aware of something that perhaps was a bit unclear before, or just never really thought of much.

    The ending is touching, to say I love you with tears instead of words, to say it without saying it. This raises an important issue also, as we tend to get out of the habit of saying, and showing our love to those we really do love.

    I really enjoyed this poem. well done.

    Wow, the poem is touching.. It's real. It's truth... Life can be complicated, complicated beyond imagination. But love is open, simple, nothing complicated about a heart in love. The world may not know it. But the owner of the heart knows it. It need not be screamed from a tower. It can be whispered In the wind. Connected in words. But without one single word spoken it is confirmed in the hearts that feel it. This poem is touching.

    Meena I agree with Lucero , This is a very touching write. I truly loved the wording you used here. And it is very true that love is not easily born. It really can take years to fall in love and once you get to know a person you become closer and closer. So I enjoyed how you wrote about two people falling in love. There are many souls in the world and when two connect it's a grear feeling. There is a gentleness you gave the personality of the characters which is nice because it fits the poem well. The tone does not stray. I really loved your last lines as well because sometimes "I love you" does not need to be spoken and you just know... your heart knows. Beautiful write
