For What It Is 2

He knows that her heart belongs to him, 
not because he desires it, 
but because she gives it to him freely.

She offers herself unto him,
knowing he would do her no harm.

He returns his love with his gentleness.
He doesn't leave when its over. 

She not a notch on his belt. 
It's not for his satisfaction, but for hers
and what she desires.

He stays with her because 
he has nowhere else 
he would rather be
than to stay be her side.

Not for another round, 
but because he loves her.
His heart belongs to her.
