We’re different in the way we speak English. Differences in accent and attitude... Yet you know me from somewhere before as time releases its grip on us.… Everywhere I look I find you, even in a flower petal, washing itself down the gutter on a swanky address down Fifth Avenue. Take me as I am; within your arms. If I had but one ambition in life It would be watching you sleep.… There doesn’t seem to be just that moment between us but a series of literary commentary at a silent auction filled with open wallets [And closed minds] In a bid to be seen giving to charities Yet you pass me at the party and I feel the winter’s retreat in your stare. You struggle to (dis) remember me yet, I know I am in your blood, don’t listen to them, [I whisper] Just be yourself No matter what they think… Walk with me and tell me you Love me. I adore you, the way you act speechless when I board that flight. Only to come back to you meeting you at a Spanish café on a sidewalk covered with sudden snow; we’re different in the way we speak English In that gorgeous language all our own.

Walk with me and tell me you Love me.
This poem drew me in... I love it... Self love is the most important love in the world... Because if we don't love ourselves... No one will.
