The Love You Give
To fall in love(5.00 / 1 vote)
You need to quench its thirst
For someone to love you too
That they place you first
There in your heart
The source of your love
From the days of your youth
Dreams on stars above
For a boy to have eyes for you
A longing within his heart
That only you can fill
An essential part
Like him, you need to love
But not just anyone
Someone who sees as you do
Love is not a game, not for fun
The feelings in your heart
Come with trust
And breaking your heart
Will cause your love to rust
For love is the reason
The reason we live
And I’ll strengthen to you
The love you give
