A love that I have
“memory of Jasmine B”
There’s a love I have when I wake up each dawn,
The kind that I notice in the earliest of morn
There’s a love that I feel that starts with a spurt
A love that soon pours, a love that won’t hurt.
There’s a love that I read, a love I believed,
A love that I’ve noticed in the lives of the bereaved.
There’s the love of my father whose in heaven, that’s true
Then there’s that love that I have only for you.
Then there is that love that ends in a flash,
A kind so intense, but don’t tend to last.
Then there’s one with a melody, that you hear in a song,
A kind that last for 3 whole minutes;
The kind that last when you’re not in it.
Then there’s that love that sheds many tears
And a kind of love that preys on your fears.
And a kind of love that stands up a cheers,
A kind of love that’s from daddy my dear.
Then there’s that kind, that’s only for you.
A kind of love that will always be true.
A kind love that looks in your eyes,
That waits until the sun goes down,
A kind that hates those long goodbyes.
Then there is that kind that searches your soul,
A kind of love, that’s like spring-time I’m told.
A kind that won’t flatter, a kind that won’t fade,
A kind that will love you in the waters you’ve made.
Is love like that silly? Is love like that true?
Is a love like that patient if I’ve blown it too soon?
Will it turn over? Will it burn?
Will it wait for me? Will it spurn?
No, it’s that kind I’ll share only with you.
Then you’ll know of a love, a love just for you.
