This poem is about liking an older guy. The fact that he has considered my feelings for him and now actually returns some of them. We have started to work on building a relationship based of friendship and just have to wait and see where it heads. This poem just expresses my feelings up until this point.

This poem originally was published in Love Poems - Teenage Love Poems

Because Of You
I’ve been in darkness for so long just waiting for the light,
And now that you have come my way, my days don’t seem like nights.

I’m glad I’m finally overcome my fear of the other side,
Thank you for showing me the way, by taking me on this ride.

I’ve never really felt this way about a guy before,
You’ve truly touched me deep inside, you’ve opened, unlocked, the door.

I know it’s nothing serious, but surly it’s a start,
You’ve treated me so equally, I feel it in my heart.

And even if this does not work, I’m glad I’ve had this chance,
To see how great you truly are, even just for a glance.

We never know what’ll come of this, it really just depends,
I’m glad we’re taking the first step, we’re becoming better friends.

With you I never have to guess just how you really feel,
You talk to me about the facts and tell me what’s the deal.

With you I feel so comfortable, like nothing can go wrong,
I get this tingly feeling inside, you sing to me like a song.

The fact that you are older, really did freak me out,
But you treat me like I’m your age, now I’m rid of all my doubts.

I’m trying to live in the moment, by forgetting about the past,
And so far it’s been working, and it’s really been a blast.

So hopefully from this day forth, I’ll know just what to do,
If ever I come across a guy, another guy like you.

  • Genie
    I use to be the kind of person who'll ONLY go out with guys 2, 3 or 4 years older than I am. and then I meant him. His laugh, his voice, his charisma, his silliness, and most important the love he gives to me changed my life COMPLETLY! I love him so much even if he is 10 years older than I am. He means everything and this poem really opened my mind and made me see that love has no age limit. (I love you baby).
  • Ashley
    This poem is AMAZING! It totally describes my feelings toward my boyfriend. He is 6 years older than me and at first I wasn't too sure about it but he treats me like an adult and like his angel so I know I wanna spend the rest of my life with him! I wish I had the talent to write poems like this one that expressed real life situations!

  • Emily
    This poem really hit home for me when I read it. My boyfriend and I are 5 years apart in age and my parents disapprove of it greatly. He is in college and I am still in High School, and this poem shows how a person feels when you love someone that others don't approve of. Love will out power any force in the world!
  • Bobbie
    That was a really touching poem it was great i loved it
  • Trav

    I just wanted to let you know how WONDERFUL I think this poem is! I am relating to this poem majorly in my life right now, and I was just feeling rather upset about it tonight. I found this poem and I ended up sending it to the guy. I don't know how to describe what I felt when I first read it. It was amazing, it was like you read my heart!-Completely, in between the lines, the fine print, and all. it's just amazing...I love it. Very well done! This is the first piece of yours that I have read, and from this I'm eager to search for more!
