The Way I Love You

Like a child fallen asleep, Like the sea, so blue and deep, Like an apple cut into two – This is the way I love you. Like the mind of an old slave, Like the bravest of the brave, Like a long journey or queue – This is the way I love you. Like the dog of a blind man, Like leaves after rain, Like hot sand and like fresh dew – This is the way I love you. Like a flash full of desire, Like an odd bird made of fire, Like a promised wife, like youth – This is the way I love you.
