Dan and Shelley

Before I knew you I had sworn
I would never fall for someone.
Why do that to myself again?
Far better to be alone.
Though, I never wanted
for it to be just me.
Who really wants that?
Nobody really, that I believe.

So I lied and said
it would be all right.
Love could never be mine,
try and try as I might.
Too much this.
Too little that.
Far too stubborn
to ever give up on a fight.

I fell for you easily,
though I didn’t let it show.
I was afraid you would
leave, if you should know.
But then, slowly at first,
we both started to drop hints.
I think it was something
that we both could sense.

Well now, now I’m hopelessly
so far in love with you.
I’m forever and always yours,
but that you already knew.
My Sweet Dan,
you are the only one I want,
my only forever,
my true love that I have sought.
