The One That You Love

What began as a crush, became a love, deeper than the heavens above

Still leaves me in awe, when thinkin on, how we’d got begun

One of the cutest couples, ruffles, under my shirt, goose bumps and cuddles

A movie pictured paradise, every moment wrapped in doubles

Replayin in my brain, cuz I couldn’t believe what I was seeing

Couldn’t believe my feelings being, right through the ceiling, stolen -freeing

Supposed to be, hittin books, not catchin looks, or sneaking peeks, and playing crooks

Had, grades to get, and papers due, no time for nooks

But couldn’t really escape, the fate, the gates of my heart were bound to break

And they crumbled under ya touch, impatiently, longing, to no longer wait

So late one night, studied right, up to the closing time

On that cafe grind, stretchin our minds, around science and primes

Till it was time to go, but oh no, neither one of us wanted home

And by a stroke of luck, we tucked in a cove, along the way that we drove

When, all the crushing, secret loving, and emotions never spoke

Came to the surface, and into focus, then, into my heart you dove

Never forget the meaning of,

The heart and the soul of the one that you love

Times will come that push and shove

Beggin the question enough is enough

But, never forget the meaning of

The heart and the soul of the one that you love,

one that you love, one that you love, one that you love

Never forget the meaning of,

The heart and the soul of the one that you love

Times will come that push and shove

Beggin the question enough is enough

But, never forget the meaning of

The heart and the soul of the one that you love,

one that you love, one that you love, one that you love

What caught my eye, and drove me wild, running my mind, a million miles

Filling my thoughts, with the warmest smiles, till nothing else was worth my whiles

Was the way you stood so confidant, powerful and competent

Unstoppable, intelligent, embodiment of accomplishment,

With a will to speak, to fight for the weak, not so meek just turning cheeks

But humble and vulnerable, even only just with me

Which let me know, I meant something, to you, and for me that was everything

Enough to shatter my ego walls of isolating tyranny

& The way you challenged the social norms, of what it meant to be woman

And how a man was to interact, to respect her fluid movement

With the grace enough, to let me falter, and alter my conclusions

To help me grow, to a man, who is, willing to shed confusions

Igniting my desires, reciprocating fires of passions, alive

Pregnant with our hopes and dreams, of what our lives, could be like

A world I never thought possible came into light

And MyLove, that’s how your wonderful aura filled my eyes

Never forget the meaning of,

The heart and the soul of the one that you love

Times will come that push and shove

Beggin the question enough is enough

But, never forget the meaning of

The heart and the soul of the one that you love,

one that you love, one that you love, one that you love

Never forget the meaning of,

The heart and the soul of the one that you love

Times will come that push and shove

Beggin the question enough is enough

But, never forget the meaning of

The heart and the soul of the one that you love,

one that you love, one that you love, one that you love

Nothing, worthwhile comes easy, and love, is no exception

The same qualities I love, give rise, to insurrection

Confidant, powerful, dominant and strong

Qualities I’d never sacrifice no matter what went wrong

But those too are characteristics that I also possess

And I’m sure like for me, they’re what brought you to my caress

And now after two and a half years they have placed us under duress

Polarized us, and put our meridians to the test

A test of might, a test of will, a test of skill in argument

That questions all we’ve ever loved, and it seems that there’s no resolving it

Because in love there’s compromise, there’s truth within the lies

There’s things we seek to hide, and there’s things we try to find

Like the glint in our partner’s eyes when they walk into the room

Just want to know that they’re ok, because that is what we do

But life, is so hard, and fast, taxing upon the best we have

That it becomes easy to forget we’ve shared the best times we’ve ever had

Yet in your eyes and in your words I feel your want to work together

I feel the same grace I’ve always felt since we’ve known each other

I feel the same, mine comes with shame because I’ve hurt my lover

Lost hold of what you meant to me, meaning I had to rediscover

Never forget the meaning of,

The heart and the soul of the one that you love

Times will come that push and shove

Beggin the question enough is enough

But, never forget the meaning of

The heart and the soul of the one that you love,

one that you love, one that you love, one that you love

Never forget the meaning of,

The heart and the soul of the one that you love

Times will come that push and shove

Beggin the question enough is enough

But, never forget the meaning of

The heart and the soul of the one that you love,

one that you love, one that you love, one that you love
