Analysis of The Side That Loves Me

Sarah Rayan 1982 (Kuwait City)



The other side of you, made me feel so blue, but when you created me, on land, your love shined through

I think I'm ready, for this side to take over, the side that loves me, opens every door, and lets me explore

I've seen the ocean floor, but I know there must be more and know I'm ready, for you to show me the shore

I think I'm ready, for this side to replenish, the side that loves me, grants my every wish, and lets me relish

I think I'm ready, to present all of my facts, for you to love me, and stop the wolves in their tracks
