WHAT REALLY DO YOU LOVE?

On this beautiful valentine evening,

As we lay in our secret haven,

With flowers for bed and our arms for pillow,

You whisper the sweetest words; “I Love You!”

“Oh, I Love You Too!” I cry bursting with tender feelings.

HALT! My love, before you wrap those arms around me,

And bathe my face with kisses,

Pray tell, “What really do you love?!”

Take my hands in yours,

Walk me through your heart,

That I may see through your eyes,

The ME you see and love…

What really do you love?

Is it my form, formed of dust?

These features that change with time?

Or this beauty-of no account of mine?

Tell me Pray tell, “What really do you love?!”

Love me beyond my beauty,

Love me beyond my body,

Love me beyond my brains,

Love me beyond mundane

When I say, “I love you,” I shout it to men and angels,

I know your strength and weakness and choose and accept him still!”

Pray tell, my valentine, “What really do you love?!”
