A Love Song

You said you’d not write

A love song
Just because I wanted one.
But gave me a reason to
Write it for you.

How can I feel the absence?
The only thing I have
To get back in touch,
A person who was never around.
Is the voice
Smooth,
Sweet,
Expressive,
A song.

You say you'll let me hear you as you are

Now I’ll write
A love song
For you.

I’ll not try to please you

Or attract you to me.

Now I have a reason

Write it for you.

’Cause who needs
A love song,
Is me,
Even if that’s for you.
