If...
Butterflygoddess23 2001 (Belize)
you wonder,
I can't promise you the moon,
But I can make you laugh when you feel gloom.
I can't give you diamonds,
But I can share your burdens.
I can't call you every night,
But I will keep you in my sight.
I can't tolerate a lie from you,
But I will forgive if you are true.
I can't suppress my pride,
But for you I can step aside.
I try to forget you sometimes,
But I get drawn back by your sublime.
I can't completely let go,
It's only you I want to know.
I know all of you,
Never a day goes by without missing you.
Well dear, I am enchanted by you,
Because like rain, you give life and freshness.
It's only you I desire,
Just a lover waiting for you to admire.
