I will humble myself and accept that I love you
I will put aside my ego and let you know I really do
And
I will leave my comfort to make you feel the best
I will do all I can to make you, in me, find rest

But really,

I won’t erase my inmost persuasions just to get your ‘yes ‘
I won’t mislay my sincerity to fill up your itching ears
And
I won’t fabricate a future to suit your desire
I won’t coerce you to recline in my coffers

Only a choice you have

To be blinded to such as I have to share
To close your heart to my love and care
Or
To accept what you know is deep and true
To open your heart and not make excuse

So, as you rock the chair of your latter years ,

I could be long gone into the horizon, the distant sun
I could live in your mind only as ‘the man you really once loved’
Or
I could be the best part of your world
I could live in your reality, ‘the love you nearly once lost’

In the end, whatever you do

You wouldn’t have been wrong
You would only may have broken a heart
And
You would only have been human
You would only have made your choice

Have a lovely day!
