My Love



I love you more than words can say
I love the uniqueness of your ways
I loved you since our younger days

A gentle touch, passionate kiss
Only enhances what I've missed
This love for you is here to stay--
To embrace and cherish you every day.

I know that we were meant to be
Because the love from me--
Has not diminished nor disappeared.

My heart belongs with you and to you
And I thought yours to me.
If we should ever cease, my love
My passion, my feelings of inner peace.

Such foolish thoughts thinking that I would stop and desist.
Because a love like mine remains strong and true
I know it doesn't mean the same to you.
A love like this should never split, but grow in knowing.. I am for you and that's just it.
