I’ve decided to change up the approach to my Fly Poetry section today. Instead of featuring a traditional poem, I wanted to post the lyrics to a song that me to reads like beautiful poetry (Not to mention the fact that it now has a very special meaning to me.)

There are no additional words needed from me on this one … just check out the lyrics, and when you’re done, take a listen to the song for good measure.

The Fly Poetry/Lyrics

You introduce me to life that I’ve never known
When I’m by your side that’s when I feel at home
And my only intent is to make you smile
I promise…

So believe what I say when I say I’m real
Cuz there ain’t no mistaking the way I feel
Baby open your heart and accept this love
I give you…

Over the others
Over my pride
Over the faults, I have in my life

I choose you

Over the others
Over my pride
Cuz you’re the best thing, in my life

I choose you

Said I knew it was right, so I took the chance
Disregarded the challenge of the circumstance
Now your to big a part of me to let you go
I promise…

So despite the way that I make mistakes
And despite the direction this love may take
You can always be sure of me just have faith,
I got you … this much is true

Over the others, over my pride,
Over the falls I have in my life

I choose you

Over the others, over my pride
Cuz you’re the best thing, in my life

I choose you

Listen to “I Choose You” by Ryan Leslie

It’s time to once again honor those brave souls who have fearlessly mastered the art of self-expression, which is no easy task. It’s difficult, it leaves you feeling exposed, and there’s no true guarantee that the feelings will be reciprocated. But in spite of all of that, these people still open their hearts and pour out these wonderful expressions of love. So enjoy this segment of Love Quotables. I tip my hat to them.

“I love her and that’s the beginning of everything.”

“Sometimes your nearness takes my breath away; and all the things I want to say can find no voice. Then, in silence, I can only hope my eyes will speak my heart.”

“We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.”
~Sam Keen

“The very thought of you excites me … and the idea of you and I together leaves me anxiously anticipating the next chapter of my life.

How will it all unfold?

Only time will tell. In the meantime, all I can do is focus on the here and now, and the things that I do know. I know that I’m a man who understands what an absolute treasure you are. I’m also a man prepared to do whatever it takes to make you happy.

Perhaps more importantly though, I know who you are …

You are hope actualized …

You are patience personified …

You are love realized …”

~The Fly Guy (What? I can’t quote myself?)
