Reap What I Sow

I love you so
I want you to know
I would go anywhere
You'd want me to go

I'd let you be
But you can't see
That freeing your love
Would devastate me

So let's step outside
And just let it ride
Perhaps in a year
We can both say we tried

But if not then I'll know
That I must let you go
And hope that I reap
Whatever I sow

There was a sweet melody playing in my head as this lovely poem I read. Way to go Gayle, this should be a song.

Isn't that funny? I was just talking to someone else about hearing tunes as we write things. I think there may be a bit of 'composer' in all of us!
