Can You...?
Can you love me ~ just for me?
Or do you love from what you see?
Is what I wear, the things I have,
The definition of what's me?
And just how should I love you back?
For what you have, or what you lack?
Love you for you? Or how I'm wanting to?
Want to get this all on track.
You see I thought that love ~ 'Real Love',
Was measured by something unseen,
Invisible to touch, yet yearned so much,
Starts raw, uncut ~ yet clean.
But we all learn somehow, someway,
It's hard to find here now... today,
We live results from what's believed in,
Dreams of love, from what you say.
So can you love, for who I am?
Or will I live a masquerade?
Believe in fate, to find too late,
That with my heart ~ I paid.
Can you...?
