Analysis of I love you more than any philosopher
Akinwale David Akinkunmi 1995 (Benue)
More than Plato or Aristotle's thought,
More than Descartes or Kant have taught,
I love you more than the wisest sages,
More than the depth of history's pages.
Their words and theories are grand and true,
But my love for you is beyond what they knew,
For it's not just intellectual admiration,
But a love that's felt without explanation.
Their knowledge is limited, their love is abstract,
But my love for you is tangible, a solid fact,
It's a love that's not bound by time or reason,
But a love that's felt in every passing season.
So I love you more than any philosopher,
For my love for you is real and pure,
It's a love that grows with each passing day,
And will continue to flourish come what may.
