Why did I love you?, a Poem by Fadwa Attia

Why did I love you? 

Why?

I loved the sky in your eyes

I loved our memories together

I loved everything that brought us together

You became my home and my family

You became everything to me

My view of the world changed

After we loved each other, I changed. 

You became my whole life in a long night 

You became a dream for all of me

One night he comes to me in a dream

A lover I loved

and we were together through thick and thin

Our memories are endless

our dreams are relentless

We have become lovers in the sanctuary of love

and we will remain lovers in the sanctuary of eternal love

Our love never ends no matter what happens

eternal love never dies.
