True Blue For Only You
It happened once. Then, it happened again.
I tried to explain just how I’ve been.
My love was strong & it was real.
You didn’t want to believe my spiel.
I had a history that was not good.
I have never acted like I should.
I went around breaking little girl’s hearts.
Now, I see where that was not smart.
I love this girl so much it hurt.
She had a great fear I would soon flirt.
I had no intention of doing so.
I wanted to be her permanent beau.
Seems I had cried wolf once too often.
Nothing will help it to soften.
I can’t be trusted to be true blue.
Yet, I can’t stop hurting for you.
How to show I’ve changed my ways?
Though, it may take many days,
I have to prove my love is true.
I only want to belong to you.
You have taken a ‘prove it’ attitude.
I could be in a different latitude.
For all the difference my efforts were making.
You weren’t going for ‘I’m there for the taking.’
Gifts, flowers, and cards don’t help.
I need something to make your heart melt.
Groveling at your feet is a no, no.
I am not putting on a show.
I am serious in all I say & do.
My whole life is devoted to you.
I won’t look in another girl’s direction.
You are all I see in my reflection.
You haven’t cut me off as yet.
Maybe there is a chance to get
inside your heart to stay.
Show you this is the only way.
In the end, what a blessing it will be.
You’ll be so glad you waited for me.
We will live in never ending bliss.
Who would have thought it could be like this.
