TIPPING THE LOVE SCALE

A poem for my wife.

TIPPING THE LOVE SCALE

-

I LOVE YOU

I LOVE YOU TOO

HOW MUCH?

---

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO ASK

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, EVEN IF MY FEELINGS ARE HIDING BEHIND A MASK

I STILL LOVE YOU SO MUCH, YOU'RE WORTH MORE TO ME THAN THE LOTTERY

---

YOU'RE WORTH MORE THAN THE STARS IN THE SKY

YOU'RE WORTH MORE THAN THE WATERS OF THE OCEANS

YOU'RE WORTH MORE THAN THE GOLDEN EAGLES THAT SOAR AND FLY

YOU'RE WORTH MORE THAN AN INIFINITE SUPPLY OF LOVE POTIONS

---

YOU'RE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN A RAINBOW

YOU'RE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN A DOVE

YOU'RE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN A FIREFLY'S GLOW

YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL, WITHOUT YOU, THERE COULDN'T BE LOVE

---

ARE YOU HOT?

DO YOU HAVE WHAT OTHER GIRLS HAVE GOT?

WELL OF COURSE NOT!

BUT I DON'T CARE BECAUSE I LOVE YOU ALOT!

---

YOU SAY I DON'T LOVE YOU

YOU SAY I DON'T CARE

YOU HATE THAT I SHOVE YOU

YOU SAY DON'T YOU DARE

---

BUT I DO LOVE YOU

IT'S HARD FOR ME SHARE

I JUST WISH YOU HAD THE SLIGHTEST CLUE

BECAUSE NOW THAT I FOUND YOU, LOSING YOU IS SOMETHING I CAN'T BEAR

---

I STRUGGLE TO SHOW IT

SO I HOPE YOU KNOW IT

I LOVE YOU A WHOLE LOT

PLEASE STOP PAINTING MY HEART FOR YOUR NEXT SHOT

---

JUST UNDERSTAND THIS COULD TAKE A LONG TIME

IT'S BEEN YEARS, YOU'VE SHED TEARS

IT'S BEEN YEARS, WE'VE SHARED FEARS

IT'S BEEN YEARS, BUT GUESS WHAT, WE'RE STILL HERE
