It’s easy
To fall in love
With me,
_____________________
Like remembering your
a, b, c’s or
1, 2, 3’s.
_____________________
The ecstasy you feel
At the sight of me,
Is like a basic principle
That you are able
To process
Without any trouble.
_____________________
It’s easy,
You see,
When you take
My hand in yours,
_____________________
Enamoured,
When you pause
For effect, saying:
‘I am forever yours’.
_____________________
The words slide off your tongue
Like money slipping from
A Politician’s paws
During campaign season,
_____________________
The love defies all reason,
Your eyes glisten,
You declare that
Not loving me would be treason.
_____________________
Falling for me
Is easy,
But
_____________________
Loving me
After calling me
‘The One’
And keeping your word
In the long run,
Is much easier
Said than done.

Nicely written piece. The final part of the poem is one that a lot of people can relate to, which calls for a deep reflection on what real love actually stands for 👏🏽
