I Love You (Poem)

I

had my heart broken once.
the hurt and pain trickling down my cheek,
as I slowly sewed the pieces back together,
one by one.
I vowed never to believe again in

Love

was for fools, I declared,
to everyone I met on the street.
some nodded in agreement,
while others looked at me,
as though I was the fool.
then I met

You

changed my life.
became the reason my heart skips a beat.
made me see that love,
has and always will exist.
