Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser Poet Ballad

When I Love Thee

 I LOVE THEE
I am no voluptuous beauty nor do I live a life of purity
I can only say: I love wholeheartedly with all I am so truthfully

I keep my heart open though it gets hurt so often
I avoid to be irate as I know love changes the heart rate..

Guys tried to coo and woo, they say words as for "only you"
Yet, hard to believe it is true as I see some untrue

I give chances as my heart marks with tact entrances
I learned from various instances looking man in romances

In places where rules impede, two persons who wants to bid
Not of money but of affection, in them must be determination

I love thee not of what you have…
Not even of who you are but to how you are to me…

If I love you, don't tell me much what to do…
As me, myself will show you, I am that real and true..

Yes, I am liked by many but tell you what:
I don't like this honey nor am I proud of it in anyway
One is enough to make me stay

Stand with me through it all, I give my best not to fall
My name your sweetest call echoing in every wall..

Hold me firm yet dear; allow me to move closely
We'll make it anyhow, treading smoothly on flows...

We are strong, aren't we? No one moving alone
Together we'll face phases in tune, though there will dunes..
