“You, My Heart” by Hettie Potgieter

My heart feels,

warm hugs and kisses!

Stronger my inside heals,

my mouth filled with French kisses!

With you I believe,

One look into your blue eyes.

Come close, I never want you to leave…

I know I hit the jackpot pize.

You are God sent…

To love this broken, gentle, lost soul…

Magically mend my empty hole,

Forever we are meant…

I see in you our forever…

Babe, I love you!

Love me whenever, wherever

But love me like only you do.
