Solitary

No one
Not a single person
Gets me like you get me
I'm compelled
sometimes violently so
to try harder
to do better
to be better by my love for you
I'm not choosing it
I'm actually living it
It's a part of my existence
Like breathing
Grace
Mercy
Loving
Forgiving
Gentle
Benevolent
Tender hearted
All those things God shows me
I show you
I don't know why I never reflect those things on others
Its always you
Maybe its because when I see you
I see myself
And these are the things I want to be with myself
So I manifest them with you
I'm a better person to you
for you
Because its you
I never would conceive of
be pregnant with the thought of
giving in this way to another
it wouldn't occur
much like breathing water
or swimming in the air
No one has warranted a display of love
of devotion
from me
I look at you and I'm moved
I think about you and I'm humbled
I touch you and I'm overwhelmed
I taste your name in my mouth and find its the sweetest thing
I'm captivated by songs that remind me of you
No one has me like you
no one will get from me the offering I make to you
they're people
You're my person
In my heart
there's no one else
I'd give you anything
My devotion
My fidelity
My last name
because I cherish you in ways and spaces I'd never thought possible
you reach in places I didn't know needed to be touched
And for others
I'd give by comparison, a few moments of expendable time
Sacrificial love isn't a part of the equation with anyone else
It wasn't a part of any equation until you
and then sacrifice seems to be not enough
I can't seem to give enough
And I can't say I'm capable of giving at all
not like this
so completely
to another
But through Him in me, my love for you is perfected
The way I love you is a gift only you receive
The way I care for you is an ability I didn't know I was capable of
The way I treat you is a God thing
Its a you and me thing
Its exclusive
