Love me   because I try to touch life
              within the framework of
              uncertainty
love me    in the shadows
              in decisions as I strive to gain
              knowledge
love me    in the silence of my hurts
              and the noise of my
              confusions
love me    for the feeling of my heart
              not the fears of my mind
love me    in my search for truth
              though I may stumble upon
              fallacy
love me    as I pursue my dreams
              sometimes retarded by illusions
love me    as I grow to know myself
              even during the times of
              stagnation
love me    because I seek harmony
              not man's discord
love me    for my body that I wish to
              share with affection,
              wrapping you in warmth
love me    because we are different
              because we are the same
love me    that our time together will
              be spent in growing, kindling
              the world with understanding
love me    not with expectations
              but with hope
              I will love you the same.
