I will only so gently
rely upon you
not strongly
as you would like
I need your love
not your bank account
nor what you can do for me
I don't want nor wish to be
your charity case
but your lover
your true lover
and I will reign the gifts of
my ultra loving soul sweetly
upon your hungry man's heart
as I will and do give you the
best of me
a present I hope
worth remembering
and one you will never regret
such as is
this difficult decision
where my love is concerned
trust me............
