Love That I Seek

The kind of love I seek,

Is not momentary, though discreet.

It's not just the flash of meeting eyes

Or everyday hellos and goodbyes.

The love lies in the shared emotions

Of happiness, sorrow, deep hurtful notions.

The attraction that runs deep,

That makes you lose your sleep.

The constant conversations from books to seasons,

An ear that's always ready to listen.

The attention and understanding of what I need and when

The feeling of being important and beyond a simple friend

So tell me today, for me do you pine?

Will you be my Valentine? 😊
