vignettes of love

the Conversation

the Conversation

I have walked away so many times

Yet you always come look for me

I know it is because you are afraid

Not because you want to be free

I have opened the door for you

So many times, you never leave

I cannot simply walk away

From something in which I believe

You know of my situation

There is someone I love so true

I would never do anything to jeopardize 

But I can't help being in love with you

But you are so young, so beautiful

You could be with anyone

Then I will wait for me and you

I feel strongly, our time will come

There are so many years between us

We would have so little time

I will take every minute I get

As long as you promise to be mine

What if we have a child

How in the world would we explain

They would just look at you as Daddy

Nothing would ever change

But what if I become sick

And needed care every day

Then I would be there to nurse you

I will always find a way

Why are you wasting time on me

On something that may never be

Because I know one thing

Above all, to be true

From the moment we met

I have been in love with you

And I know the odds are against us

And the chances are very slim

But as long as there is a chance

Even one slim chance

I will hold on

For our life to begin

Love knows no age

And yes I have the time

I can't let go, because my heart

Keeps saying you will be mine

So I have one question for you

More important than all the rest

Do you love me, my darling?

YES

Then

I will wait for US
