naked truth
naked truth
the truth is rarely naked
even with something as wonderful
as being in love with you
We always seem to dress up
our dreams under many layers
of thick and dreary clothing
and one day we look over
and think Ewww...
How did I ever think I'd
like being seen with that?
But then sometimes we
actually remember how we
made it look that way
how we are responsible for
losing sight of it
and even though it looks
frumpy on the outside
the sexy little truth that
I covered up so well
(I almost forgot it was there)
is simply this:
I need you
not for what you give me
although that really
makes living with you grand
I want you
not just at
some appointed hour
but every minute of
every day
I
love you
not
just some disposable
words
like some commercial jingle
to
get you to buy my heart
but real in the trenches
I got your back and
I'll die protecting it
if I have to
because my life is meaningless
without you kind of love...
