Love Grows

about not taking love for granted

Love Grows

Love grows where it is cherished

It withers and dies if it’s left to chance

Take a heart and love it always

Take a chance on love’s sweet wine

Its heady taste, its aromatic bouquet

Loves dizzying effects, the heart that beats faster

The racing pulse at the sight of your lover

The way the day becomes instantly brighter

How it dulls when they’re not around

The instant smile, the quickening pulse

The heavier breathing, the look of lust

The touch of a hand, the look of love

The laugh at a joke, the deepening kiss

All these things I offer to you

Come cherish my love, let it not wither

These are the things I offer to you

All I ask is love me in return
