Alone

Alone



Now I may not have a whole lot of money
and I am lacking in material things.
I am not the best dressed
and not the best looking.
I will not be buying you expensive rings.

What I have a lot of is what you cannot see
but it is there and it is so very real.
Somewhere somehow some plan seems to be made
to where in your view I do not appeal.

I want to do more than tell you I love you.
I want to show you in so many ways.
I want to take you out and do whatever you want.
I want to share with you all of my days.

And when we finally come home,
if you will let me,
I would like to worship your body for a while.
I am crazy for you and I do not know what to do
for you to take notice of me with a smile.

All I do know is this,
when I think about you,
what it must be like to experience your kiss.
But when I hold out my hand,
when I open my heart and soul,
every time you only dismiss.
