As a young man in love, I was selfish. I walked with you, I shared food, I slept with you, It was my insatiable thirst; Desire, and I needed to gulp it, At any cost, For survival. Perhaps you felt likewise. I didn't know. Now, being older, That Which I do Out of love, I do for you.

Out of Love
As a young man in love, I was selfish. I walked with you, I shared food, I slept with you, It was my insatiable thirst; Desire, and I needed to gulp it, At any cost, For survival. Perhaps you felt likewise. I didn't know. Now, being older, That Which I do Out of love, I do for you.
