Why I Cherish You

Many times, you have asked me, Why I choose you to be mine, Is it because of your lovely eyes? Or is it just the sparks from your smiles, Still, I don’t know why I cherish you. I ask myself though why I love you, Could it be your lovely wet lips? The wild desire that sprung from my veins Or can it be the calm I keep when I see you? Still, I have no idea why I do cherish you. I ask myself why I am in love with you? Is it because of lovelight fires emanating from your eyes, Can it be the brighten world I envision when I see you, Or could it be the warmth of your flesh when I feel it, Still, I have no idea why I cherish you. You don’t rest asking who you are to me, I guess you are the hand that holds me right, The hero that saves my failing heart, or you are just a gift from Jah, still, I have no idea why I cherish you. I promise one day I will answer your questions, Holding you right to my arms, Whispering to you the why (ssss), And letting you know why I cherish you, For now, I still have no idea why I cherish you.
