I love you
A phrase everyone deserves to hear,
And that should be said to all who are
Cherished and impress your heart.
Not reserved for couples, not only for
Sentiment, but for your friends, teachers
Parents, and everyone who has touched
Your heart.
I love you
I need to love you all because love is
The binding keeping us intact,
And the bond letting us live.
It is often left out of friendship, not included
Because of the walls built around you
By stereotypes overruling
Your heart.
Love me
And I’ll rejoice in your grace,
I’ll be thankful for your acceptance,
And I’ll love you back.
Be you mentor, peer, brother, sister,
Valentine…or just a great friend,
Your compassion and affection are not forgotten
In my heart.
