My Love for You [poem]

My love for you began like _Romeo and Juliet_ -- Like love at first sight. I'm sorry, but I love you, I'm sorry, but I'm all yours. Do you understand? There is a flame flickering between us that started burning The day that we first met And nothing and no one can ever extinguish it.

You should know you guard my heart -- You hold it in your hands. I gave it to you freely, please understand, With the knowledge that it is yours to do with as you please, Just like a gift. I won't ask for it back, but I will ask you this: Do take good care of it.

My love for you began like that of a little girl with her first crush -- All bashful blushes and downcast eyes, Like something out of a fairytale. But now my love for you has changed, it has matured -- Now I love you with the love of a woman, Eyes looking into yours directly, Searching for our future.
