These three love poems illustrate the progressive steps in the growth of a romantic love relationship. The first step is done. There is usually a period of time where we go from not knowing we’re in love to gradually realizing and accepting that we are.
dream
I dreamed a dream
I do not know why
I dreamed a dream with you.
I dreamed a dream
now i know why
I dreamed a dream with you.
It took me a little while to realize that she was interested in me. I mean a girl from college who is now my wife. I’d walk past her after wind ensemble practice as we put our horns away, and she’d smile at me…just smile. I returned her smile but didn’t give it much importance.
After a while, I suddenly realized. Was she interested in me?
Love seems to happen differently for everyone. For some it happens at first sight. I can honestly say that I don’t personally know anyone who has met her husband or wife in this way, but if I am to believe what I see and hear in the movies, it does happen.
But I think this poem describes the most common experience of a gradual revelation.
Once we realize that we are in love, the second step begins… talking and spending time with each other.

the more i spend
my time with you
and speak and listen to your voice,
My hopes, my dreams
Focus in
and gladden my heart.
It is natural for people to fall in love while spending time together. Interacting with people through voice and eye contact, as well as sharing your work or activities, leads to strong feelings of attachment. Emotions begin to flow that can lead to marriage.
Years of struggle shared as we get older cement our relationship. And, if we reach our golden years, our love graduates to the final level of romantic love; wordless expression.

our language is
too limited,
Your words can’t express
the wonder of
My love for you,
True ecstasy, I confess.
It is after many years that a different form of communication transcends words. That way is body language. A sympathetic smile that says, “I understand you and I enjoy sharing this moment with you” communicates deeply what words can only hope to express on a superficial and incomplete level. Expressions, movement, stillness and silence fill our desire to communicate our love at the highest level.
While each of us often wants to hear someone say they love us, those words can’t match the level of romantic expression communicated by lovebirds whose years together have fostered a sympathetic look, anticipatory action, and smile of love. comprehension. .
