To Love You

"I'm poor," I said. "And I am scared Of drowning you When bills are due." You said, "we're fine And in due time Your work will be Worth it, you'll see." "My wish for you Is someone who Can always go Where you will go." "I'm fine alone When you can't come. I know you'll heed My real needs." "I'm not enough, I'm not as tough. Look out the door, They are much more." "I used to pray One day I may Find someone who Is just like you." "When things are bad Or I am sad It's you I want To hold my hand." "And every night When I am tired What joy to see You are with me." "Until we're old, I'd feel like gold If I'd still have All of your love." So, now I know I'll never flee. Let's tie a rope 'Round you and me. Kristina Lim November 26, 2021 Imus, Cavite, Philippines
