Why I Cherish You

Many times, you have asked me,
Why I choose you to be mine,
Is it because of your lovely eyes?
Or is it just the sparks from your smiles,
Still, I don’t know why I cherish you. 

I ask myself though why I love you,
Could it be your lovely wet lips?
The wild desire that sprung from my veins
Or can it be the calm I keep when I see you?
Still, I have no idea why I do cherish you.

I ask myself why I am in love with you?
Is it because of lovelight fires emanating from your eyes,
Can it be the brighten world I envision when I see you,
Or could it be the warmth of your flesh when I feel it,
Still, I have no idea why I cherish you. 

You don’t rest asking who you are to me,
I guess you are the hand that holds me right,
The hero that saves my failing heart,
or you are just a gift from Jah,
still, I have no idea why I cherish you.

I promise one day I will answer your questions,
Holding you right to my arms,
Whispering to you the why (ssss),
And letting you know why I cherish you,
For now, I still have no idea why I cherish you.
