Description: Why do I love him?
Well, I'm not really sure. But this is as darn close as it gets. :]
"Why do you love me?" -------------------------------------------
Its all those little things
which are often overlooked,
passed over,
disregarded,
unappreciated.
They are the difference
between my now
and my before.
You ask why?
The answer: Because.
Thank you! Your comment really made me smile, not only because it was kind - but because I could see that it was thoughtful, and not just a bunch of words strung together as a senseless compliment. I'm glad you were able to relate to it, because thats sort of what I was aiming for. Something simple and straight from the heart. I find that love is such a cliché poetry topic, and that so many poems speak of such an impossible love, that it has gained this complex fantasy meaning and lost its truthful simplicity. And in agreement to your statement, I also don't really like when people use various ways to emphasize different words, but sometimes I just find it necessary because I want my poem to be read in a certain tone or pace, and this is the only way I can find to do so without going overboard with punctuation (which I also do, to my dismay).
However, I'm very glad that you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to write down that comment.
Pretty straight forward I must say; I liked it. At times this is how I feel about the man in my life.
The emphasis that you place on particular words, such as "now, before, why, and because" really gave the piece that much more punch. Most of the time I usually do not like all the little things people do within their works to "give it more feeling". This is simply because, if the work portrays the feeling and is good as is, then extra spacing, bold, italics, underlining, etc. is just not necessary. However, I really did enjoy this short delivery. You made your point quite well. Furthermore, I could tell that it came from a real place.
