How best to treasure you I ask
For to treasure you is my main aim
Can dusty boxes show your worth
Could darkened spaces tell your fame
And yet to have you always here
Would that show you are most dear?
:~:
My hands must always be in use
Should a part of dirt be yours to claim
Should I take a great risk to lose
To lose you would be too great a shame
And yet to hide such beauty away
That I would regret each and every day
:~:
I fear to lose yet I also dread to part
Nothing could replace, none are the same
If I could but ask your opinion I would
But you cannot listen and I don’t know your name
And so I must decide what your future will hold
Decide if you to wear you is bravery too bold
