Elliott Rodgers

This is probably my all time favourite poem, it has also been published and earnt me some money (that’s not why it’s a favourite though!). It is probably the closest I’ve come to describing falling in love.

When I close my eyes,
I can see you standing there,
eyes sparkling with laughter,
your face a ready grin.

When I think of times gone,
I can feel you in my arms,
away from the dark night,
kept safe with me.

When I feel lonely or scared,
I can feel your long distance hug,
making everything wonderful,
making it all right.

When I wonder of the chance,
I can only live in hope,
of tomorrow and the day after,
and of love eternal.
