This You Should Know

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)

Free verse
This You Should Know

There might have been things I missed. It doesn't mean I am unkind, and it doesn't mean I am blind. You think I don't mean a single word I say. But it's all I have to take you away. I bought you all the things you wanted. But I am here to remind you that I will stay. Even if you should leave me, I will never let you go away. either way. You're the only one I can ever love anyway. So if you should stray, It won't mean a thing. You already won me over, so I move a little slower. Furthermore, I am here to remind you. Till the day I die. I'm still going to love you for a long, long time.
