so this is a song

so this is a song 

i wrote

when i was confident

that you loved me

and i could pay the rent

once a month 

on a Friday afternoon

when i was often late

but would rather be too soon

as we first walked together

under a giant harvest moon

and you gave me a bright smile

before we had walked another mile

and a laugh when i spoke

what i hoped was a joke

and you were serious about things

peeling thru layers of thought

and it was readily apparent

you didn't care what i bought

but what i could bring

in a voice that could sing

and so here's to what you said

and how you kept the score

you always seemed satisfied

never wanting more

than i could give or we could share

your love wasn't simply in a place

but seemed everywhere

and the moon remained beautiful all night long

so this is a song
