ROMANCE: "LET ME LOVE YOU" BY AJAKAYE STRIDA

Let me love you,

I promise not to put out the light,

love is me to you,

love is what remains when career takes you miles away,

a while with me would resurrect your smile.

Let me love you,

let me show you every corner of my heart,

let me into you heart,

so that I can drive our union beyond death.

In the next world, we will meet earlier than this.

Let me love you,

emotional doctors reduce chances of medical doctors,

let your wares be my duty,

your umbrella when issues come as rainfall,

my earliest prayer during dawns, we will never go apart.

Let me love you,

no matter how far you reach,

I will deny myself our bed till you return.

I am your flowered wife,

my nectar belongs to you, no other bee.

Let me love you,

for you are my now, my tomorrow and forever.

I love you more than your deepest thoughts,

when I tell TikTok my expectations of a man,

perfect am I for I have met him in you.
