Let me love
you as
I could,
Not as you will
or as I need to.
For love,
to linger,
have to be free,
and what
you want for
is not me.
You may
love me
as you will,
but I should
spurn you,
as I need to.
For although
love
is a desire
that's loose,
once made,
it approach
that you love me.
Only you?
I would possibly love,
or 3 or 4.
As would possibly you.
For love
will ever have
its way,
regardless what
we do
or say.
Those who say
that they love
love handiest
one - themselves.
For you
Confuse it
with love,
whose way
Is willed,
regardless
what you assert.
