Yet I continued to play love's game,
Until it was no longer a game.
It's pain relived a thousand times,
An ocean of tears from all the times I've cried.
Constantly lying to myself, saying I'll never do it again,
But I could never listen to my past, nor its horrid sins.
Moving too quickly,
Not seeing how long these distraction could last.
As she offered Love's gift as if it were new,
And I reluctantly received it, believed it,
Wondering if it's possibilities were true.
Dreams of this love so real,
As my reality quivers in her quake,
My passion for only who my soul would love grows,
Gladly blossoming in the time it should know.
Yet I desired to be more for her than what I am,
No longer singular, as our love brings these thoughts to be.
Oh to wish, upon her the star of my life,
Leading me to the path which births happiness and bliss,
Things so long sought after, but my heart often missed.
She is to me more precious than this world,
A Love so perfect, so genuine, so sweet.
Time hinder my voice, proclaiming all she means to me,
Loving her until my last earthly breath.
All that's in my heart, I leave nothing left,
For now each day, is lived with no regret.
Dedicated to the One My Soul Loves, Shalona L. Robinson.
Happy Valentine's Day, 'Cause I Love You
