Rooted deep in value

In a world where lovers collide,  

many desire, few abide,  

But among the feelings, soft and true,  lies a deeper worth in valuing you.  

'Want' is a fleeting, passing glance,  

A momentary spark, an empty chance,  

'Value' runs deeper, like a rooted tree,  

grounded in understanding, of you and of me.  

It’s in our laughter shared, in silent grace,  

In knowing each expression, each dark shadowed place,  

When someone sees you, and not just your glow, and cherishes the depth of who you are,

you know!

I'm aware others want you, let their longing rise,  

I see your true value, and forever will strive, 

to appreciate the beauty in your every hue,  

It's where my heart finds its home,

in you.
