Love Poem to David
By Joel Young
You hear me say, "I love you." I tell you every day. But do you truly know the depth of what my words convey? Love may be just a feeling, or a word that people say. But my love for you consumes me, and it takes my breath away.
Before I ever met you, I did not comprehend How one man could love another as more than just a friend. I'd deny the truth within me. I'd hide, and I'd pretend That the emptiness I felt inside was a condition that would mend.
For I'd learned the prohibitions. And I'd taught myself to lie. But when, alone, I'd face the truth, I'd just break down and cry. I'd been told such love was sinful. I'd heard I'd go to Hell For simply having feelings that I could not dispel.
Then, you appeared from nowhere. And when you looked at me, We connected soul to soul, and you set my spirit free. Although I didn't know you, there was much that I could see. I knew I'd never be the same, and our love was meant to be.
As we learned about each other, we began to understand That we seemed to fit together, as a glove fits on a hand. Where I was weak, you were strong. Yet our symmetry was grand! We couldn't be a better match if it had all been planned.
And your touches flood my soul. They arouse my passions, too. And I tremble with excitement and the lust I feel with you. I crave your manly beauty, and I hunger through and through To bring you joy and pleasure with all I say and do.
So when I say "I love you," it's not just a simple phrase. It means you've touch my soul in so many special ways. I am devoted to you, and I will spend my days Caring, helping, listening, and loving you always.
I cannot tell the future, nor can any mortal man. Our human hope for things to come is but a wishful plan. But my love for you'll continue, just as strong as it began. For I asked if I could love you, and God answered that I can.
