Darling

Darling, if you would just say that you love me
Then I would no longer have to ask on a bended knee
For your fair hand, which is fairer than the swan
No longer would I sigh, right from night to dawn.
You know fully well about my love for you
Oh dear, I could vouch it is truer than true
Amidst the darkness I see, you are the one and only light
You are and will be, a fair and lovely sight.
So listen to my pleas, and accede to my request
Since only then will I reach the end of my quest
Don’t say ‘no’ - its just too harsh a word
Please do say ‘yes’, and make me feel light as a bird..
