Lovers We Be

It takes more than the manhood in you,
It takes more than the tender kiss you can implant on a young girl’s heart,
It even takes more than half your sanity.

In fact,
It takes all your soul, body and mind.
It even consume your precious time,
It takes away those pretty young girls you call your own,
And leave me with you as my own.

It takes decades,
It takes eternity even,
For both of us to fall deeply in love.
