I + YOU

I loved you,
I may have said just ten times,
or showed it only five times.
But at all times I really meant it.
Then my love chose caves when it could be in the spotlight.

I love you,
I want you to believe me,
but I’d be chasing shadows.
With skin like sea pearls,
There’s not one reason not to fall for this brown skin girl.

I still love you,
I’m hoping you love me too.
The space in my heart seems shared with another occupying it.
But if I ever have a reason to be unfaithful, I’m hoping it’s with you and I’d have no regrets.

I’d not stop loving you,
And I doubt if you still or will ever do,
We say it but you don’t mean it.
I mince not my words when I profess love to you,
Even with the knowledge that there’s one who you’d rather share it with.
