Since the very first day your eyes spoke to mine
I have felt a compulsion to share love with you
No matter how much I have loved many others
No matter how much they have given love too
Loving you is a priceless pleasure
Which I could not replace, should it fail me and stray
For when I’m with you, be it only in thought
My body dissolves into space far away
My spirit takes flight on the wings of my words
My soul in each sentence, my heart with emotion
The pleasure of loving, springs the pain of my tears
But I write every word with an inward devotion
For the very first time I have felt a true beauty
I have felt what it’s like to express without fear
For you summon the woman, watch her dance on the paper
Embracing you tightly and holding you dear
You receive as a genius, a master of words
A lover of lingo, whose mind is unique
With whom I can share such a rare form of pleasure
My lover through words in a language we speak
As I’ve sent you each seed, have you sewn with your thoughts?
Pruning each word which feels soft to your heart?
So the gentleness felt through the passing of time
Will maintain all its warmth in your most barren part?
For I’d like to believe that over the years
Your soils have soaked my emotions so deep
So a part of your heart, be now moist with my teardrops
From the love I have given, be it not mine to reap
Then as warm as the sunshine, the ray I first sent you
It will gladded my heart, be we never together
To think that the love I have sent, you have planted
For to grow in a part of loves garden forever
