Sometimes...

Sometimes you love someone because of their smile,
But that love will only last a little while.
Sometimes you love someone because of the way that they look,
But that love must surely end like the pages of a book.
Sometimes you love someone because of the way that they laugh,
But that love will turn cold like the water in a bath.

But to find a love,
A love that is strong an true,
I need to look no further,
Than to look for you.
For you have it,
I see it,
I see it in your eyes.
The dreams,
The thoughts,
And the odd oh-well sighs.

For if you love someone,
The inside,
The person they are.
Then that's a love,
That will bright,
Like a shining star…….

And would I love you?

Oh to be given half the chance,
But I only need a quarter.

And if our love grew stagnant,
Like the water in a pond.

Then I would leave you,
But always love you,
Until the end of time and beyond.
