But the words "i love you" are just too soon to say
I think of you often, and your words do stir me
And with you I am longing to be

 

 

Love Blossoming

By Roxann "Kujitua Baraka" Latimer Dadzie 

In the small of this evening hour I sense you still
So far away yet near enough for my heart to feel
You say your love for me is deepening every day
But the words "i love you" are just too soon to say
I think of you often, and your words do stir me
And with you I am longing to be
And while we wait this year out
Learning what we're both about
You in africa, the motherland
Me in america, learning to understand
This love blossoming
