Statement: "be my sun" was inspired after reading several love poems expressing one's love in a personified way. The poem was written in the perspective of a woman falling in love with someone but concealing her feelings.
i love you.
you are my boulder,
my shoulder to lean on,
my blanket i can snuggle with.
and when i see you,
i smile like the moon did when she met sun.
you are my sun. yet
sun rays on spring days
don’t even compare to
your smile, your laughter,
when you look at me.
i want to be in love
as if i am the romeo
to your juliet;
i want to be in love
as if we are the only two
on earth that matter.
i want to be in love
with you.
but i shy away from the prospect
of us together,
a rabbit running from a wolf.
i see you and bury my dreams
deep inside, a hermit
hidden in the shelter of my thoughts.
let’s be in love.
i love you:
please, i’m begging you,
love me too.
