To Love You
"I'm poor," I said.
"And I am scared
Of drowning you
When bills are due."
You said, "we're fine
And in due time
Your work will be
Worth it, you'll see."
"My wish for you
Is someone who
Can always go
Where you will go."
"I'm fine alone
When you can't come.
I know you'll heed
My real needs."
"I'm not enough,
I'm not as tough.
Look out the door,
They are much more."
"I used to pray
One day I may
Find someone who
Is just like you."
"When things are bad
Or I am sad
It's you I want
To hold my hand."
"And every night
When I am tired
What joy to see
You are with me."
"Until we're old,
I'd feel like gold
If I'd still have
All of your love."
So, now I know
I'll never flee.
Let's tie a rope
'Round you and me.
