That's How I Love You

By Sophira Sipayzo


I love you.
Having known you,
Having seen you,
Having heard you,
Having touched you,
I love you.

Love me, as a maiden.
With the purest of souls,
With my trusting heart,
And my innocent dreams.
My soul exists because of you.
That's how I love you.

Love me, as a mother.
With the most dedicated of souls,
With my nurturing heart,
And my protective love.
My heart beats for you.
That's how I love you.

Love me, as a crone.
With my wise old soul,
With a jaded heart,
And my final love.
My love is for you.
That's how I love you.

My sleeping dreams are of you.
My waking thoughts are of you.
Love me, I beg of you.
Love me as witch and wife.

I love you.
Having known you,
Having seen you,
Having heard you,
Having touched you,
I love you.

Love me, as a knight.
With a true soul,
With my loyal heart,
And my eternal love.
My soul is yours.
That's how I love you.

Love me, as a father.
With the bravest soul,
With my honest heart,
And my forgiving love.
My heart beats for you.
That's how I love you.

Love me, as a ghost.
With my departed soul,
With my disillusioned heart,
And my forever love.
My love was always for you.
That's how I love you.

My sleeping dreams are of you.
My waking thoughts are of you.
Love me, I beg of you.
Love me as witch and husband.
