In Love Like Me Poem by Randy McClave

I love you more than life itself,
So, I give you whatever I own,
Though I own not much of earthly wealth;
So then I will give you my soul.

I’d give you my life if so need be,
And I’d ask for nothing in its place,
I’d say to do with it whatever you want;
For without you, it would be a waste.

I’d give you my heart if only I could;
But, my heart it is no longer there,
It has been replaced with your thoughts and face;
Now it only beats in your prayers.

I have given you everything if you’d only look;
If you could search the soul and mind,
Though I don’t have what I wish to give,
But what I do give, it is nobodies, but mine.

I’d give you my eyes if only in thought,
So, you can see the things that I can see;
You would see a world such a happy place,
But only; if you were in love like me.

I wish I could give you my ears so you could hear,
The sounds which only I can hear;
The beating of hearts, the rhyming of poems,
And the sound of love that is always near.

I have given you everything that I do own;
And everything that I cherish that is free,
And I know you could feel the same way that I do,
But only; if you were in love like me.

I wish I could speak and say how I feel;
But I can't so I write it down on paper with pen;
So, when the day does come and I am taken away,
You can read of my love, once again.
