You Know
You know I truly love you
for there was love even before we met,
for us -
Pursuing parallel paths
we knew even before words were spoken
In trust;
Our meeting was the recognition of older love.
You know I truly love you
for I accept you as you are right now,
a bud -
Whose roots (like mine)
seek support for the blossoming to come,
grounding;
Our friendship is the recognition of fertile soil.
You know I truly love you
for I speak to you from my heart
with love -
In spite of our fear
surrounded by infinite possibility,
we chose;
Our first kiss was the recognition of true beauty.
You know to love me is to love yourself.
