Loving Me

What would you do
If you were asked to choose
Between loving me
And loving you?

Will you be okay
If you hear me say
I'm not for loving, not in the
One-in-a-million way.

(I used to be
Or so they say,
I still could be
If I just let myself stay.)

Would it be too much
That I found my own tune
To dance to and make love
To the freedom I feel anew.

I'll still want you
But need I shall not
I'll still hold you
And give you my all.

I'll still keep you warm
On nights dark and cold
I'll sing for you too
That song you say is gold.

Will I make it harder
To hold back on your love
If I do a little more
Than what I mentioned above?

I know I'll love you
More than what you have for you
But I know I won't let you
Love me like I want you to.

Maybe you should find
A soul that'd be kind
To your love, unwalled
A heart unlike mine.

Maybe you should, my love,
Give up on me, and
Pick yourself this time
Like I'd choose me.

For Keeps

It must be luck, or a sweet hand of fate
That gave me a life with the people I met
The ones who found me at my highs, at best
And stayed through the worst, often called a test.

But a test is not what I need to prove
The unflinching loyalty that has often moved
Mountains of hurt and oceans of worry,
Along with faith that dwells in me dearly.

They say I’m good, that I listen and I get it
I don’t make it hard, our minds easily meet
I ask the right questions, and say the right things
Yet another conversation with the happiness it brings.

Little do they know how they leave me reeling
From the fact and the wonder of our souls belonging
Of the right to call them mine, how I wish to keep them so
I’m the one who’s humbled, blessed a little more.

The content that you speak of
The resonance you appreciate
The comfort of an understanding,
A beauty our bond radiates.

I cannot be grateful any more if I tried
For the friends who are nothing short of a gift to my life
Their adoration and love, so unwaveringly alive
They’re my joy, my spark, my charm and my pride.
