The love I found

The love I seek is not heralded by chocolates
Neither is it expressed in candle lights
It does not just lurk in dark corners or scented rooms

It is rich in patience and appreciative of the things that are good
It is constant not because of my deserving
It radiates through every word and gesture that what's best for me is a big factor

Correcting me is not a thing he shies from because he is seeking to bring out the best in me.

Truth and honesty are his ways not flattery and idle talk

I know a love that I still can't understand
If I devote my entire being to seeking the reason for this love, I still won't find it because it doesn't come to me because of my loving devotion.
Yet He loves me!

Makes me want to burst into a song
I want to dance, twill, scream, jump and laugh all at once that the creator of the heavens sees in me something worthy of love,
That he has called me his own
That he tells me he loves me and shows me too in ways that I'm sometimes still too selfish to share.

I can no longer indulge in foolishness of seeking to earn his love
Rather I bask in the splendor of it all and say
My Lord and my Love, how great thou art!

To the greatest lover of all times
The one that loves me more than anything in the world
I stand in awe of you!

Y'all have a wonderful day
I wish you loads of the truest love

All I'm asking for is love

I think he loves me
Why?
I don't know
He is too good, just can't be real
No he can't love me

He sits with me when I'm lonely
Inviting me to talk to him
But I can't be bothered
I don't want to talk to him
He can't understand me after all

I'm in pain
He calls me, asking me to tell him where it hurts
"What do you care?" I say to him

When I'm sad
He paints a beautiful picture to cheer me
He sings to me to lighten my heart
But I laugh in jest and walk away

I'm stood up
He comes to offer himself as a substitute
But I don't want him, would rather have the looser that stood me up

Through all these, he hurts
Oh so badly
I see it in his eyes
But I look away
I hear it in his voice
So I shut it out of my head
I wonder why he still offers
After all the disdain I show to all his gestures

I'm lonesome for the one that makes me cry
For the one that hurts me
For the one that hits me
The one that makes me sad
The one that stands me up

Is it too much to ask?
All I'm asking for is love
Please can you tell me where can I find it?
