I wanted to write you something poetic
With a couple of rhymes and a little rhythm and melody
Something sweet to the ear
Just to let you know how I feel about you
But I wouldn't be doing myself any justice if i tried
Coz that shit aint for me, I aint good at it
So I settled for something that might be sweet to the heart atleast
To simply describe my love for you
Though we know fully well there is nothing simple about love
Its a mixture of complicated emotions
Pain and joy and many others included
Its true though that when I first saw you
Neither pain nor joy did I feel
Rather I felt something else in my stomach
A little bit of rumble and tumble, some funny sounds!
Something I feel most when I'm nervous
You had a mini afro, uncombed, a lil messy
Certainly not dressed to impress
Yet there was certainly something about you
Something about the way you talked
That captivating voice that got me so mesmerized
The way you laughed at the not so funny jokes you made to atleast keep the conversation alive
The effort you put to try be nice and make me laugh
I didn't know for sure what that was all about
What I did know though was that I felt something for you my darling L.
Now almost a decade later, and we at it again
After trying once before, I trust that we cant fail twice
For I know that what I feel is something so real, a feeling so profound.
This time this feeling is a bit more stronger, a ton more mature.
And with every breath I take, every beat of my heart, every fibre of my being and every waking moment
I know for sure that this something I feel for you is nothing but LOVE!
