Greater Than Fame

If I had the courage to tell you how I feel
Would you go with me, so I could try to reveal

That I love you with all my heart
And that I should hope we never part

See most men want love when it's just right
But I'm not most men, I have seen the light

You have changed my soul into love that I can't explain
The only way I can save myself is calling out your name

You have held my love ,unknowingly, for quite the longest spell
And only now do I realize that my heart has already fell

The love in which I ponder for, is what you quench for me
My days of looking for love have finally been set free

So as I tell you that I love you, I hope you do the same
Because you and I together would be greater than any fame

Yes, love is the greatest gift to have-- especially when it works both ways. A warm, uplifting write.
