This must be real
For what I feel
In all this zeal
I try to conceal,
My true intention.
While in abstention
I paid close attention
To the normal convention,
And even the mention,
Of wanting to wed.
An idea that led
To sleepless in bed
Has gone to my head
And so I have said:
You are my friend.
There is no depend,
And I totally intend
To finally extend
A quiet recommend
That you and I could,
And definitely should,
Take something this good
And be understood
That we definitely would
Make our lives a rhyme
That would be a crime
If we did not chime
And enjoy the sublime
Extension of time
In each other’s lives.
No matter our drives,
In each we will thrive,
And from all we derive
Out of being alive,
This one thing is true:
I really love you.
