Presents..."My Love" by Sethlina Amakye

"hush...listen - let me tell you what it means when i say three words

i love you.

it's so much deeper than a reaction to your body

or the stirring of my heart to the gentle way you treat me

it's the knowledge of no limit to what i would do

if ever you neede me to...

beyond the knowledge i know

because most of all love is what i show

when i know how i feel, but can't find word that say so

i love you when i'm enchanted by your mind

when i long to climb inside... your thoughts

when i brush your skin but feel your soul

everything i do with unmasked affection

my undivided attention - all for you

my love's real when i can list everything i love about you

on demand, whenever you should ask me to

i love you when i let you see my faults

when i remove them from dusty vaults

with fresh incentive to try to work them through

and i do, without ever trying to hide me from you

i love when i think only of the best for you

leaving my own interests untended

knowing if ever you were threatened or hurt

i'd protect you and bear your wounded body back to safety

and suffer the pain for us both

if i could

if i tried to save you before you drown

and saw in desperation, your struggle pulled me down

i know i love you because i wouldn't let you go

i love you when i write this

while i'm not sure where you've gone

and i trust you as i fervently hope you won't stay away for long

my mind dreams only of reuniting with your soul

i don't think to pull in reigns or tighten my hold

best of all my love is free and freedom to be you with me

and constant assurance that my love will always be true

i mean all of this when i say

i love you."
