I Love You.

I Love You

My love is not a heavy weight

or a burden you must bear

it's as light as feathers floating

on a current of warm air

My love is not a cage or box

it is no prison cell

you may leave as you desire

and return again as well

There is no standard you must bear

you're free to be just you
you may cut the path you choose to walk

and pick your own companions too

 It's not a sacrifice I make

I've everything to gain

its the gift without conditions

that should never cause you pain

It's not a pedestal you're on

I know you're just a man

so know that when you make mistakes

I'll always understand 

I don't expect perfection

and I know you too believe

that ideal is impossible

for any to achieve

you're not my whole life's purpose

and I'm not yours I suspect

but I'll always try to treat you  

with kindness and respect

I will never try to change you

for that is not my way

I love the man you are right now

and it's how I hope you'll stay

I don't even need your love at all

for that is yours to share

I just want to give my love to you

and let you know I care

It's pure the way I feel inside

and pretty simple too

forever and with all my heart

I will be in love with you

Love makes sense once you stop trying to make sense out of it.
