You Are

You are still the one,
I thought you didn't exist,
I thought it was an illusion

Until I met you....
Wow! Who is that, was my thought,
Puzzled for a while I was.

Exchanging our common difference ,
I hoped to get an addition.
So it did happen.

Felt my heartbeat,race faster as I heard
Your voice.
I couldn't, because I couldn't control it.

It was so deep, I bled
My feelings? It was that deep!!!
Like a farmer who can't do without
His cutlass.
Like a mother who can't do without
Her child.
Like the sun who can't do without 
The moon.

Our love is nameless
Our love, classless
Our love, unconditional
Our love, priceless
Our love thriving in the face of hardness.

In your love  my faith grew stronger
In your love I found a partner
In your love I fear nothing
In your embrace I find solace
In your presence I find comfort.
In your love I bid loneliness goodbye
In your love I want to be bound.

I would look at you and wonder like the stars.
Countless times, at logger heads we became,
Make it easier for me, I plead.
But with more love to settle.
Let bygones be.

It hurts at times, because its true love.

But you are still the one.
As a pair we sail....
Ours is the definition of love.
