Love Me More

The difference between friends and enemies,

Is the love in-between the two of them,

The difference between friendship and relationships,

Is the level of love separating them.

The difference between you and Eve,

Is that you are the one I’ll love all the more.

Romeo never knew that loving Juliet could cost his life,

Yet, he sacrificed it when it mattered most.

Juliet never recovered from losing Romeo,

And was said to always speak so much of him,

Even when no one cared to listen to her.

Would you give your life, just to save mine?

Could there be another lover for me like you?

I doubt that with every bit of conviction in me.

You are meant for, just as I am meant for you.

Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh;

The missing piece of my masculine rib cage;

The last piece of our romance’s jig-saw puzzle;

Let’s share the warmth of this hot love together;

As mating birds do on cold winter nights,

And lovers do to keep their love bonds ever strong.

Sugar is found in sugar cane,

Honey is gotten from bees and bee-hives;

Wool is gotten from cotton;

Leather is gotten from hides & skin.

Paper is gotten from pulp, and wood,

And true love is learnt from me to you.

Long time ago I have searched for this love,

But now I know I’ll search no more.

I’ve found someone, whom I call my love,

One who no matter what would love me more.

Even though I had longed for a Romeo-Juliet love,

I rest in your arms, even as you love me more.
