I see you — for to study is to love you.
Min Nelumbo nucifera, my love, I respect;
The language of your calm shall give you rest.
Oh my sun, have faith, and swift —
I dare to live in silence; this moon shall not drift.
I’ve known you, and I will wait for you.
A distance to conform to peace, A lovelore whispers in this piece.
To avoid is your comfort.
A rhythm of solace — not a word.
Profound like a roaring lyon.
No fear, I know you’re trying.
I will be near, yet far, like nothing – Sitting still in the sense of belonging.
Anxiously, I regret, I have put you on a pedestal,
Tired – for you are fatal.
I learned the pages you never showed.
And for now, I’ll try to keep it low.
I Learned you — to study is to love you.
Merielle Kaye Rodriguez
To love is to learn in silence. To see is to understand without holding.
– The Study of You
Love doesn’t always speak — sometimes it studies, waits, and remembers quietly. Loving should be at peace — with reverence. It is not about possession, but about holding with balance and understanding.
Maturity means holding without suffocating, accepting yet discerning. It is an oath to embrace freedom and vulnerability, and to recognize that being free is not the same as availability.
To love is to study their calm, to understand the ways they cope — without judgment, yet without tolerating what harms. Thus, this verse shall remind you.
Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you.”
