An Ocean Of Love, She Never Saw

I never once
pretended,

whenever I stood in her presence.

Around her, I felt

like I was becoming better each day.

There was a strange feeling,

as though I had known her forever.

Within her heart, I found a paradise

and I chose to live there endlessly.

My blood cells moves like a flock of sheep,

while her thoughts became the shepherd.

My nervous system acts like metal strings,

while hers became like a magnet.

Science says after death,

The brain lives for thirty seconds.

Even in those final moments,

it would still carry memories of her;

that is how much I loved her.

My loyalty was never about staying,

It was about loving her endlessly.

The love I carried in her presence,

remained, even after she did not.

My love was like water,

I appear how she sees me.

Perhaps she saw only a gutter,

never noticing,

there was an ocean of love for her within.
