Love Me Like You Never Loved Before
The presence of you
keeps me up in the night.
I don’t know what to do
when you’re out of my sight.
My life is a bore.
I long for your touch.
I can tell you for sure
that I want you so much.
Love me like you
never loved before.
Come with me.
It’s easy to see
that we both need that thing
like a bird with one wing.
We could fly
and time would pass by.
As we reach for the shore,
I will want you much more.
Love me like you
never loved before.
Skin on skin,
the fire within,
your body is mine,
your look is divine.
The night is still young,
with your name on my tongue,
though nothing me harms,
I will die in your arms.
Love me like you
never loved before.
And the why:
When you can’t have the one that you want, the dream might keep you from going under. And if your dream finally comes true, then there is nothing left to fear. That’s what this poem is about and I would like to share it with millions of dreamers.

Hakan:
Good poem, very affecting–was that a translation or did you write the original in English (bilingual, how I envy people like that)?
I just wrote a piece on the “Consolations of Love” for my blog so I was quite taken by your posting and verse.
Keep up the good work–
Thank you!
My native language is Swedish, but sometimes I write poems in English and seldom even try to translate them into Swedish.
All Swedish citizens are being taught English from the age of 9, so it’s not very hard for a Swede to think and write in this language, but of course there can be a lot of misspelling and grammar errors when your brain subconsciously mix English with Swedish.

Hej Håkan,
I would like to let you know that i love your poem, i red the “why” and i was about to cry…Im in love with someone that unfortunately is far away from me, and the only thing that keeps me going is the dream and wish of being with him some day. Thanks for writing things like this, hope to read more from you.
Keep encouraging lovers the way you are doing it with your poetry.
Hej Håkan !
Could you please translate your beautiful poem to swedish?
Tack if you do!
Hej då !
I am deeply touched by this beautiful love poem and it inspires me this of mine, here to share with all loving hearts!
………..Love You, Like You’ve Never Loved Before…………
Like the music drifts out from the piano, dearly flows,
Flowing under your skin, tenderly vibrating, flowing, o, floating…
Beating with your drumming heart, where songs, sweet tunes hum with mellow….
Like the music drifts out from the land, dearly drips off,
Dripping onto your chest, softly lingering, dropping, o, creamy drops lingering around your fair shoulders, and chin, where scents, fragrant aroma sweetly dwell….
Like the music of formless forms, madly hits off! billions of bits and bites onto your domain, frantic, delirious, O! Blasting thrilling heats melt away each existence! and each adam! Where brilliance, exhilarate galaxies explored!…..
Alice, This is lovely! Thank you for sharing it. I am going to post it this coming week so other people can enjoy it.

Many thanks, Curt
is this the one taehyung is talking about ?
This is so beautiful. I can feel so much emotions while reading it. Finally I found this lovely poem. Someone dear in my heart shared that he read a poem. He only mentioned the part ‘Love me like you never loved before.’. I was not able to search for it after that. And suddenly it came to my mind and searched it. I never thought that I will see this lovely poem and I’m so happy 💜🌻🤗❤️
