Take Me For Granted
Take Me For Granted
Maybe I'm just crazy
or my views are slightly slanted.
But I love when you don't have to ask.
When you take me for granted.
I need it when you're needing me
when push comes down to shove.
I love when you take it for granted
that I'll show you my love.
How when you know I'll be beside you
and I'm not afraid to fight.
And how you take it for granted
you'll be loving me tonight.
Go on baby you can look away
the seeds already planted.
I love the way it feels to me
when you take me for granted.
Not everyone will get this poem.
But those that do, have known love at a depth not everyone will ever see.
They've been hurt. Taken advantage of and they have been betrayed.
Still they have known love.
They were open to it. They've been warmed by it's fires and chilled by it's North wind.
They've flown where eagles fly. And they've crawled through hell and back.
None of it for them but for one they loved.
Because if you know love, you soon find that it's not love until you give it away.
