Love

Wish the world knew, what is to love with substance.

Not expecting anything in return, cause it comes from a place of abundance.

Wish you knew and made no assumptions,

About the love that I give with no reluctance.

Loose from all judgements, it stems from clear origins.

If only you had my view, it’d be elementary sort of like 1+1=2.

If you carefully picked the cues, you would understand why I love you.

Wait, I love you?

Yeah, I said it, I truly do!

I love you not for the things you do, but because I choose to.

It’s not a matter of love being due, it’s a conscious election that gets renewed.

Day in and day out, it remains true.

Are there no better words to express love and affection?

Nowadays seems like every soul prefers suppression.

Sounds like purgatory, living’ each day afraid of rejection,

Thinking that somehow, it’s better to avoid a connection.

So, we continue collecting bodies, hoping to obtain redemption.

How about we set aside the what if’s, but if’s, would ifs, could if’s,

And instead focused on something diff.

Not letting bliss slip from between our fingertips.

Learning to forgive the past sins of our kin.

I sit here meditating, no longer debating.

On how to deliver a message for the ages.

After delicate introspection, there’s hardly room left to question.

I may have found a bottled collection,

Of newfound expressions buried deep within my recollection.

See I wanna know what you fear, not to make it disappear (although I wish I could),

But instead volunteer to always be near,

So, on your own you’ll never have to go another year.

I wanna know who and what’s hurt you.

I know it’s nothing new, and you’d rather skip that avenue,

Because you let in a select few, and to this day you still rue.

Although it’s not for me to undo, I am ready to

Vow to learn how to never leave you feeling blue.

Cause the same pain once again, I’ll be damned if I put you thru.

I wanna know what makes you smile,

So, I can be versatile.

Speak your language, match your energy, vibe, and style.

I’ll go with you all the way, mile for mile.

I’ll keep my promise to make this journey worthwhile.

When eventually we’re covered in gray, you know senile,

nearing the end of our trials, we’ll come across as juvenile.

Cause I’ll retain an in-joke on file, so your pearly whites can come out daily for a while.

With you I expect nothing in return, other than endless discussions.

Knowing how to discern, honest love from elusive constructions.

I want mindless conversations, that deliberately go on without interruptions.

Because love is so underrated and overrated at the same time!

Just know that my love is sublime and goes beyond any measure or paradigm.

What I feel for you there are no words to define,

But rest assured that I’ll love you until the day that I die,

I chose you so that when I’m gone you can testify, how in the flesh you felt love exemplified.
