SOMETHING ABOUT YOU

——

As we reach the golden coming of ages,

I’ve seen crowns crumble and decay

But on the brink of each falling motion,

Something about you made me stay

In a world that turns on heartbreak

You’ve given your love to me

Where every kindness wears a price tag

You’ve granted yours for free

We’ve crossed our swords and rising tempers

And made a lark of sordid fates

We fell to fortune and in folly

And landed with lucid grace

You seldom deign your reservations,

But we sit at a table for two,

After all storms that we have conquered, 

You’ve become the most beautiful you

Thank you, always, for your best,

Standing by when I’m not my own,

Being someone I love to impress,

I’d never have gotten here alone

Your heart bears a pretty home

Just a thousand winds away

Because, darling, everything about you

Makes me want to stay.
