A TENDER VERSE

To you I write
This tender verse
My dearest
Lover at first glance.

I was no believer
In love struck on sight
Calling it mere heat
Not heart. But you changed that.

Words may fade
Ink may dry
Even the sky may lose its blue
But with you, I feel whole.

So I write
With ink steeped in longing
Softly asking
For your hand, if you're willing.
