I Want To Say - I Love You

You may judge me wrong and look me down And think of me as the worst in town Telling me I need to slow down. But I'll still tell you the same thing: I love you. You may spread spiteful rumors and lies Making ev'ry move of mine cumbersome... Thinking my feelings will fade— My feelings will die; But how funny it is and how awesome It is to know, to say, to feel that: I love you. You may hurt your soul with your ignorance, And engulf me to never get a single chance. You may make my entire living laborious; Thinking and knowing I'll never be courageous. But still I want to say: I love you. You may write me in history because I have no talent. Because you see my life doing nothing but to descent. And yes I know I am nothing but a loser— But the world must see that a loser can be a lover, Girl, Please can I show you that: I love you. I am ready to dwell with you forever, For I always dream of a life we live together. I am ready to install 'LOVE' in your heart; You just need to tell me when to start. Yes I am ready to show you that: I love you. I love you with the love that sinned Adam in Eden; A love coveted by the angels of heaven. I love you with the love of Romeo and Juliet; A love coveted by the rainbow color violet. I say— I love you with a love coveted from above, A love that is way more than love. I love you with a love more than that of trolls and doves, A love that is way more than true love. A love way more than perfection — A love way more than affection... I love you in a way that I am unable to say; Unable to say: 'I love you.' Khayelihle Bongiswa Gamedze
