TELLING YOU

by: L. A.
G. Martinez

 

There is something inside of me I
can’t explain

A feeling so strange that
makes me insane

I can’t describe the way it makes
me happy

A feeling of me that no one else
can copy

 

It all started when we first meet
not so long ago,

And then a strange feeling on me
suddenly grow

The vision of your face kept
coming back to me,]

It started too long that I always
wanted you near me.

 

I tried all my best not to make
it show,

But the love over me wants to
flow

Because the days of my life
wouldn’t be complete

If I can’t see you pass by the
street.

 

I know that is harder than I
imagined

Because I know that we have a big
margin

Because that wouldn’t stop me
from trying best

Because only fools are hopeless
and I’m not the one of the rest.

 

My friends keep telling me that
I’m like a fool,

To love a guy like you is just
like breaking the rules

But I told them with all my glee

The important question is… …
Will you also LOVE ME?.

 

Why Do I Love You?

Monday, September 4th, 2006

Why do I
love you?

 

I love
you not for what you are

But for
what I am when I am with you.

I love
you not only for what you have made of yourself

But for
what you are making of me.

 

I love
you for ignoring

The possibilities
of the fool in me

And for
laying the possibilities of the good in me.

 

I love
you for closing your eyes

To the
discords in me

And for
adding to the music in me by worshipful listening.

 

I love
you because

You are
helping to make the lumber of my life

Not a
tavern but a temple

And the
works my everyday life

Not a
reproach but a song.

 

I love
you because you have loved me

More that
any creed could have done to make me happy;

You have
done it…

With a
touch…

With a
word…

With a
sign…

You have
done it, by just being yourself.

Perhaps, after
all, that is what loves means

For I
will always love you more.
