For such a long timeframe,
I exulted for a love I can bear,
But my days were no longer the same
Once you'd seized me with a stare.
I've failed to fathom or comprehend,
Reasons for which I feel love by you
And you possess no yearn to pretend;
I am glad that you act in the mode you do.
You are indeed my lover, mentor, and friend
You've stood beside me in times so rough
And I shall support thee to the end
Even if you have had enough.
