You

Me for you, your foppish dandy,
  And me to listen, as you talk.
But I do doubt, I’ll be handy,
  Even to take you, for a walk.

Why love for me, you say you’ll give,
   But mine for you, is still wary.
And I’ve learned, that love is to live,
   Yet live I won’t, for ‘tis scary.

Even now you don’t understand.
How I could leave with an empty hand.
