Love Petals Freely

she loves me, she loves me not
she loves me, she loves me not...

not for the way they might want me to be
but for what she might see in me
and not for the way they may think I am
but for the way I support my family
I am her man you see, and she's my ecstasy
she knows my souls get tired sometimes
my toes blistered from grinding the concrete
my everyday is for her to have a better day
I made a covenant with God and each day say I do
And what I try to do is let her know that she's proof
that angels live amongst us, they must
I'm just trying to be the wind, beneath her wings
so I say things to keep her afloat
my only hope is that she recognizes my notes
as more than just lame quotes or simply silly lines
I'm trying to let her know she is always on my mind
she is more than just a dime, more than one of a kind
more than any metaphor I can write to complete this line
I mean she completes me, completely, period
simply put, she makes me become myself or I
for sure will adore her until the day I die
and I will love her until the end of time
so the only question is why, or rather how am I this guy
to be the mister to her misses, the receiver of her kisses
even the one who is worthy enough to fulfill her wishes
I mean she is the other half of my tag team,
she is my queen, my everything
she is the reason I feel her arm at dawn and feel calm
she is my Solomon's Song, for her love is more delightful than wine
and if love is truly blind, I lost sight the very first time
I saw her eyes connect with mine
If loving eachother is wrong, then we've committed the perfect crime
lock us up together, wherever, whenever, however
we will whether the storms, see we've survived the discrimination
the bondage of separation, the paralyzing force of prejudice
now we claim victory over intolerance
recognize our courage is only common sense
because our love is so effortless
so anything else is of no consequence
so you may call me an optimist,I will reply as a realist
I realize that I am fortunate to have her in my life
I am truly blessed to have her as my wife
to have her through the long days,
the mornings after sleepless nights
and that's why i'm not ashamed to share my feelings so freely
if you felt the way I feel for her, you would understand...

Sincerely,

-Cotie Jamian
