Declaration of Love

It all started off as a game
my love to you and yours the same
but something inside of us grew
we were fine cause it wasn't  new

It crept like a rat in the dark
from room to room, a lovely sound like a harp
through tears and pleas
we begged to be free

Even when we got our wishes
we found out we were wrong, everything turned to kisses
no matter how hard we fought
we knew our love was true, no matter what we sought

A war that is and was not ours to fight
could end up in us making love all night
you may push and I may pull
but when it come down neither one of us can be a fool

We both have stories to tell
how either one of us could fail
its not likely that we'll perish
or even end up in marriage

But one thing we both know to be true
my greatest gift is my love to you
with my mind I'll show
and from my heart you'll know

With all of that i want to say
forever is my love starting today
from years and years
our last thought won't be in tears
