I Memorized Your Metaphors
"You are the apple of my eye."
Such was my favorite among your love-lines
reverberating sincere romance-bloom
amidst tenderness' bliss
since you did well to lavish me with your care...
"You are my everything."
Such was never a flattery to me
imagining my precious value
against your other darling possessions
as you just had me as your partner since we were still young...
"My world revolves around you."
Such gave me cringe the moment I heard it
yet you had that proven along your presence
which made me comforted and at peace
every time you held me close...
Grateful am I to God* that you made me feel so loved
Until now, your love-filled messages
keep on echoing the passion of your heart
resurrecting memories of our wondrous togetherness---
---especially that I memorized your metaphors.
*1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
