Let it not be the Love

These verses don’t contain my words,

and when I paint, not my arts.

They all manifest because of you,

I am merely inspired by your thoughts.

While engaged in your thoughts,

I find peace, even if you are away.

Why don’t we speak anymore,

it was such an innocuous way.

A thought that flashed in my mind,

the moment you came into my sight.

As if I knew, you are the One,

I couldn't express my plight.

I’ve always valued free will,

a discernment hard to come by.

You have a right to choose friends

I just wish you could clarify.

My heart beats for you

as if it's not going to survive.

How could I ignore its plight,

To date, it has kept me alive.

Let it not be the love,

that people often construe.

Let it just be an understanding,

as pure as morning dew.

I feel as if we’re connected,

wish I could explain this issue.

I am going to such great lengths

to ensure you know I value you.

What more could I say?

You are bright, beautiful and wise.

Let's brave through the night

and be blessed by sunrise.
