Je t'aime (Poem)

Does a river know which way it’s supposed to flow? 

Does love know that it’s you I dream of pulling close? 

Does rain always fall? 

Back to you, I’ll crawl

Waiting for your espresso brown eyes

To meet mine, your hand helps me to rise 

But you’d clear the dust from where I kneel

So kind, so strong, so steady like steel

You’re the first thing I’ve never feared

You sought me when I disappeared 

And when life got hard and I went away and hid

Your love makes me safe, like when I was small kid

Your touch is gentle and warm

A peace in this life’s long storm

Your voice helps ground me when I feel lost in the masses

And when my head gets swarmed by different classes

When exhaustion creeps into my bones

We find peace in a pair of headphones

Late night talks that lead to teary eyes 

You look at mine, your favorite prize

Of all the flaws you think you have, I find none

Of all that I could adore, I see only one 

With you, my heart is rich, not poor

You my dear, my love, mon amour
