My grey blue eyes look for something
to grasp onto in the torrent of my emotions, but I need not look any deeper
than my love for you.

Although, I have despised you,
when you berated my name
under your breathe more than once
but I still found myself loving you again.

Your mindless antics threw me to the wind
when our love was a double-edged sword,
mingling our vigour and passion
as bitter words were spat and scored.

This burning strength of mine
was once a weapon yielded tightly
as my heart beat faster, and my thoughts were once a force to be seldom reckoned with.

Yet, when infuriated I found peace quickly,
and I finally understand why at times
I fought so hard for you,
and why I chose to make a stand.

I did not want to hurt you but,
I longed for you to see
that I wanted you to love yourself
as much as you loved me.

I did not want to hurl my words
and create a storm across an ocean,
but instead to love you as deeply
as the tides of my emotions.

hung from walls and displayed to see.
These wonderful memories captured,
As moments encased in a fragile frame
preserving an image of immortality.

Those words pass so easily through your lips but they mean so much more to me.

You see...
My love would move mountains for you,
it would climb tirelessly towards the highest peak and share its breathtaking view.

My love flows deeper than any ocean or sea; It navigates the tides and kisses the shoreline of your soul.
This aqueous body of love appears unfathomable to me.

My love is a beautiful flower, perhaps a humble garden rose,
my thorns keep me steadfast and I bloom with lovely petals,
as tokens of a love that will forever grow.

My love for you will endure through this life, I will remain constant, caring, and true;
Because, to put it simply my heart
"I love you too."
