I see this light
It shines so bright
It’s not a light everyone can see,
It’s the kind that hides so deep inside
Not even he can see his light
That’s why he keeps me by his side.
It seems like I’m the only one who sees
All that he could be
I see his light all the time
It’s in his big brown eyes It’s in his playful grin
He’s unlike other men
He’s strong but kind
He says “I’m sorry” even if I’m wrong
He’s so smart, but he’ll never tell you.
He’s always there to bail me out
He never gives me doubt about our life
I truly do not deserve to be his wife
Our time together hasn’t been all smiles
But he assures me it will only be bad for a little while
. He makes me believe even when he can’t so why can’t he see all that he can be?
Is it because of me?
Should I tell him about the light I see?
One day I lost a part of me
Well us.
Just believe me when I say the pain hits harder than a bus.
What’s worse was knowing I had to tell
This amazing man that I failed.
I couldn’t find the words
So I decided to use letters on the phone knowing he’s in the other room.
I couldn’t bare to see the pain that I was about to put him through.
I finished the message and clicked send
Part of me thought he would break
I mean I was broke before I even began
But by the grace of God he barely bent
I knew as I read the message he sent
He promised me that we would be alright
And once again I saw his light
Through all my darkness
He was my glimmer of hope I’m not even sure he knows
I don’t tell him enough just how much he’s helped me grow.
He’s shown me that true love is real.
He’s shown me that hearts can heal.
Even the most cracked, broken, and scarred
He’s shown me that it’s okay to cry
But he’s also shown me how to dry my eyes and be strong
I truly can’t believe that all he tends to see, is the light in me.

I love this love poem. I think if this is truly inspired by a person in your life, your writing of the piece will show that he indeed is an amazing person. On the other hand, this writing shows your light and your strength, and perhaps the beauty of what is shown through these words is a fraction of who you are. And if this is rather an objective love poem, it makes reading all that mode interesting because you captured love so beautifully.
Light shows one cares and light causes darkness to flee, I enjoyed very much reading this poem so well written, thanks.
