True Love
Adam Witas
When can you know that you've found true love?
Can you feel at a glance
that true love starts its dance?
With her smile first beheld
do you feel your fates meld?
When you first hear her speak
can you find what you seek?
In the first hour of chat
is it possible that
you know you've found true love?
How long must it be 'til true love emerges?
After an afternoon spent
Can you know that you were meant?
With a few days gone by can you see
that true love will be?
When a few weeks have passed
can you know it will last?
Must you wait a whole year
to look at her you hold dear
and in her see true love?
|

Or must the wait be longer still?
Must it be a few years time
'til you make up your mind?
When she has become sick of the wait
do you then your love state?
Or do you wait 'til she's gone
to know it's for her that you long?
Or ten years too late
do you start to hate
a coward's past uncertainty?
I do not know how long are weaved
the strands by which true love's conceived
But if it's there, then do tell
for every day of true love untold is Hell.
