For you

I've written poetry for loves in the wilderness of youth
I've rhapsodised my feelings in platitudes of truth
I've yearn for unrequited love it's true
So why haven't I yearn as much for you?

I've promised the world, and the sky above
I've made pledges and pacts in pursuit of love
And everything I said was fresh and new
So why haven't I said as much to you?

In my tow-headed youth I thought I was smart
I rhymed and reasoned, and fancied it art
I measured by feelings in shades of blue
But I never measured it by the truth that is you

True love I have learned, whispers and smiles
It's a homecoming
