My Love

It's the look in your eye.
It's the smile on your face.
That makes time slip by.
And I know I am in a better place.
It's every moment spent with you,
That makes my grey skies turn blue.
And lets me know that these feelings I have are true.

Getting lost in my own dreams.
With a mere image of you.
It's hard to imagine,  you are the sweetest thing that I know.
It seems a future lost, one without you.
I love the way you hold me when the lights go low.
You shake my soul every time like a pot hole.
You have my heart.
And even when you ain't besides me,
I trust you to always keep it whole.

See, your love is the river on which my life sails.
Those tin wind chimes used for the doorbells of my heart.
Like fields and trees, your adorable scent fills my lungs.
I wanna spent the rest of my life besides you.
For you are the flint that sparkles the lighter, 
And the fuel that holds the flame.
Wamilia, uli kamuli ka'rosa with a sweet scent.

I found love, when I found you.
And if your are infectious like covid-19, 
I will happily catch you.
I need no life savers
I feel comfortable drowning inside you.
For you are the lighthouse in the night that will safely guide me back home.
