A Love Song

My ocean heart runs deep for your love’s true.
If not you, then who would I give it to?
My love for you grows deep like roots of trees.
If it weren’t for you, then who would love me?
For my heart pangs when you are not around. 
And within it echoes love's yearning sound.
You my dear, are a lovebird flying by.
And bring color to my black and white sky.
Your smile is like the sun's rays shinning bright.
Your figure beckons unto me this night.
Must I dive into your ocean of love?
To be caressed by the grasp of your hug.
   Why do the feelings of love seem so wrong?
   To my other half this is a love song.

Ahh, how romantic! What a wonderful love song, so lovely and beautifully written! I especially love this part: "You my dear, are a lovebird flying by. And bring color to my black and white sky." That says it all, love brings color to our black and white skies, so true. Great writing. God bless, Amy :)
