Don’t Love You Like Anything
(song lyrics)
Don’t love you like no bumblin’ bee
Don’t love you like the ocean
Like a tree with leaves in motion
Or any kind of simile
Don’t love you like
any-other-thing
You’re just you
I love you
More than any metaphor
More than poetical expression
More than allegorical suggestion
More than any grammar lore
I love you, yes I do, simply you
You’re not a journey, not a fire
Not a bird arose from pyre
Not that only fairest flower
Nor nutritious cauliflower
You’re not the silly “road not taken”
And you’re not a four star destination
You’re just you
I love you
You’re the why for all the things I do
You’re the hope my life aspires to
…well maybe you’re a superlative or two
You’re just you
Yeah I love you
You’re not water in a canteen
Not the path that starts my day
Not math solutions on display
…or grammar phrase between
Don’t love you like a tree
Don’t love you like no bumblin’ bee
Don’t love you like the ocean
Or any kind of simile
Don’t love you like
anything-other-thing
You’re just you
You’re just you
You’re not an allegory, far-out story
You’re not some silly metaphor-y
You’re just you
That’ll do
I love you
More than any metaphor
More than poetical expression
More than allegorical suggestion
More than any grammar lore
I love you, yes I do, simply you
That’ll do
I
Love
You
