I knew not of before, exactly how it felt
To feel affection for someone so amorously
The longing to be near them consistently
To embrace and to hold them in your arms
Yearning for their soft touch and delicate kisses
In anticipation of their bodily presence
While the thoughts of them enthral you
Captivate you mind and your spirits
Their awe-sinpiring scent follows you into your world
And raids your nostrils like an epidemic
Then when the hours of darkness falls
And everything is ints due place
The stars shining apparently above
The shrill-chirping crickets are heard
Suddenly every minute that passed is evoked
From its latent state it's fetched forth by stimulation
So you lie awake thinking of them, thinking of today
You picture every moment, every kiss, holding hands
Embracing, walking down that sandy beach, hand in hand
Fondly watching as the sun sets indistinctly
Faintly plummeting down the horizon
And the flock of birds flying high above
Or the colossal waves crashing along the shore
And her giggle - her giggle echoes in your ears
Such is the feeling i have for you my love
You may not be the prettiest, but your beauty astounds me
you may not be the most melodious, but your voice
Your voice is like music to my ears which soothes me
So let the naysayers clench their fists or nod their heads
But to you, My Somali Princess, my love i will proclaim
Because the love i've found in you is beyond compare
A love so beautiful, so delightful, my heart enraptured
And at times i ask myself, "what have i done to deserve this?"
Then i realise, it's the feeling of closeness and togetherness
The sincerity, warmness and tenderness you give
Your ecstatic, kind and considerate caring ways
And the certainty and reassurance that you'll always be there
That shape up and give meaning to my life
So to you my love, one present i bestow
Not sparkling gems, or precious stones
not the world, not anything made of gold
For these may often be lost and lose their worth
But i give all that i am and everything that my love has inside
I give you my most cherished and elite possession
My Princess, i present you my 'Heart' filled with love
My everlasting affection and unique fidelity
For my heart trully knew no other
My lips craved relentlessly for no other
And my undivided affection went to no other
Than you O' Somali Princess
Because to me you are the most beautiful gem
i ever laid eyes upon or caught a glimpse of
But please don't tell my poor little heart
That you trully Love it and not mean it
For then it will break and you may not be able to heal it!
