IN MY OWN WORDS! An Original Poem Straight From The Heart Of Poet And Writer Oscar Schwartz
I love you[1] for opening your heart to me[2]
And trusting me with your pride[3]
I love you[4] for wanting me
And needing me side by side[5]
I love you[6] for the emotions[7]
And for how you make me feel[8]
But most of all[9] I LOVE YOU[10]
Cause I know your mine[11], for real.[12]
