How Would You Love Me?
How would you love me
If I consented
How would you treasure me
If I allowed it
Would you woo me with red roses
Have me ride in a horse-drawn carriage
Sing me a love song
Write me a sonnet
Paint me my portrait
Shower me with diamonds
Call upon me frequently
Play a lover's melody
Say I'm beautiful
Quote my name
Wait upon me
Hand and foot
Let me be as wild and free
As I please
Hold my hand while walking
Towards a sunset
Let me cry upon your shoulder
Hold me in your embrace
Kiss the throne
Upon which I sit
Live to see
The sparkle
In my eyes
Give anything
To make me smile once more
Or would you, simply
Let it show
In your whiskey eyes
Your undying devotion
To yours truly
A love that only comes
Once upon a time
And always ends
Happily ever after…
How would you love me?
