Analysis of A beat skipping love
Mohlahlo Ntombifuthi Promise 2002 (Gauteng Province)
You make me blush, a crimson hue,
My heart beats fast when I see you.
Your voice is sweet, my favorite tune,
Your laugh, a song that makes me swoon.
Each moment passes, yet you stay,
My world revolves around you each day.
I love you more than words can show,
And every day, my love does grow.
My attachment to you ever strong,
In your embrace is where I belong.
