My Love

I  thought  I  was  happy, 
And  my  future  so  bloomy, 
Until  I  met  you, 
The  wonders  love  can  do. 

You  have  opened  my heart  to  love, 
Just  like  the  oil in an olive, 
My feelings for you are  way more  than skin deep, 
You  send  my heart  on  a  beep. 

I  would like  to  rush us  now, 
But  I  am  forced  to  bow, 
To  the  growing  love  inside, 
Very  infinite  it  can’t  be quantified. 

As  I  close  my eyes, 
I  see  your  cute  smile  painted  in the  skies, 
I  see  the  gentle warmth in your  eyes, 
And  feel your strawberry lips. 

We have  a  lot  of  secrets  to  uncover, 
This  we shall  both discover, 
Every time  your heart  opens  like  a  flower, 
The  butterfly finds the  nectar. 

My body inhales  all of  you, 
As  your  fragile  heart  jitters  too, 
Feeling  your silent  love  whispers, 
You  quiver  with bliss.
