If You Love Poem by Peter S. Quinn

Love is to be adored
Favorite by someone
Give inside feelings stored
Before they are gone

Like a heart that craves
Some of inside feel
Emotions like ocean waves
Become in love real

Disappear they all may
When we only know
How to give affectionate way
That not for long will go

Understanding and learning
How feelings go about
Before they come burning
Inside with their doubt

Love is born of strength
Tenderness like a blossom
Give them a starting length
To know each and some

You must love yourself too
To be of love respected
For no love can be true
That from within is neglected

“If I love myself
I love you
If I love you
I love myself”
