LET LOVE BE

You're beautiful, although

I think everyone knows it

Maybe you do to

Though you're less inclined show it

But your outside is a reflection

Of who you are within

She's the one I'm smitten with

All light and love and grin

This way that I see you

Puts me at a disadvantage

I could look one hundred years

And not find one half as fantastic

Lost all my momentum

For my eyes are fixed on you

So I'll give you my attention

And hope you feel this too

I could see us in the future

How I'd help you write your book

How you'd critique my latest poem

Over dinner that we've cooked

Sit outside and smoke

Watch the wind blow through your hair

Surprise you just to see you

When I catch you unaware

See I'd have a new profession

My new cause - to make you smile

Your love would give me purpose

So I'd work hard all the while

To satisfy our dreams

Show you my appreciations

You'd know my love was pure

Without any hesitation

It's great you see things through

But it's wrong you had to suffer

I'm sure the thought is daunting

Of giving love yet to another

But if I can be your suitor

I'll be sworn to only you

And make sure your every moment

Is the way you'd like it too

I'm volunteering

Raised my hand

I will go to any lengths

Pass any test you give

Of will or wit or strength

I'll prove that I'm sincere

Ask what you may of me

I just want to hold your hand

Be by your side

And let love be
