The Unenthusiastic Romantic

My love, I take no shame to confess

Your eyes shine brighter than the foggy night's sky

For you, I would do little more

Than abstain from being shy

Your hair, longer than the tail of the winter hare

Enchants me more than an oak's dead leaf

Your wit sharper than a broken-in marker

Your heart larger than the nose of a mouse

Your flaws small enough to fit in a governor's house

When I hear your voice, it brings me to a summer home

With you, ten yards and more would I roam

Only to hear your humour along the way

You are more a riot than dried out clay

What a world we try to live in

Together, no blade of grass shall

Come closer than our feet to separate us

May I be able to look into you every day

May you arrive each time and stay

Stay more than a minute,

Be bold in it

Such a wacky

Wonderful world

We are forced to live in

Were you to leave me, well,

I could care less

To loving you more than the fear of hell

I do, with limited certainty, confess

Come with

Me

Now.

Forevermore happy

Constantly with

You.
