Love?

A Poem by Renee Porter

What is this thing I call love?
The distance between us does not matter as long as our love is strong.
We have not been together since we got together, but our love is so strong.
I can’t believe you told me I don’t love you, that hurted the most, why did you say that?
Baby I do, I love the hell out of you, you are my heart, my soul, my everything, for you to say that just about killed me.
This distance between us is killing you and I, I cannot lose you.
I love you and I know you love me too; I need you in my life.
I don’t know how this became to be, this love between you and me.
My heart almost stopped when the words ‘break up’ came from you.
Almost 5 months, 5 months and I have not seen you, but my love for you is crazy.
You messed me up from that talk we had, you got my mind running crazy.
So is this what this thing called love is like?
If it is I don’t want to be right… but for you my love, and my life I’m willing to try, for you.
