You may not be here right now, In your tangible, distinct body But I do stroke your hair With every stroke of paintbrush I fill my canvases with; I do whisper in your ears All the words I write in my poems; I do make love to you All the nights I'm working on my dreams And all the mornings I'm still working on my dreams, Because the passion and love for them, And for you, Have made me lose track of time and place. Some may think that this is not the way to love a person But I, I believe that loving myself is the greatest form of loving you.

Selfish Love
You may not be here right now, In your tangible, distinct body But I do stroke your hair With every stroke of paintbrush I fill my canvases with; I do whisper in your ears All the words I write in my poems; I do make love to you All the nights I'm working on my dreams And all the mornings I'm still working on my dreams, Because the passion and love for them, And for you, Have made me lose track of time and place. Some may think that this is not the way to love a person But I, I believe that loving myself is the greatest form of loving you.
