LOVE IS NOT CHEAP

 

I will write you poems for your delight,

And I will hold you close at night –

Words I say are for you and not for me,

   A passion that is set in stone,

   And I will never leave you alone,

   In time I’m sure you will see!

Tomorrow only speaks of an unknown,

But like the sun my love has shown –

And for you I will always fight!

   I know at times you feel defeated,

   And I don’t mean to sound conceited,

   But look at how you are treated!

At night (I’m awake) watching you sleep,

This you need to know, love is not cheap!
