Analysis of A Different Shade of Love



If there's a shade of love unseen,
A whispered hue, in twilight's sheen,
It blooms in quiet, soft, and deep,
A silent vow, a promise to keep.

Not fireworks bright, nor passion's fire,
But embers warm, a gentle pyre.
A knowing glance, a hand held tight,
A steady light, through the darkest night.

This love, a constant, calm, and true,
A different shade, forever new.
A different shade of love
From me to you
