It Could Be Very Sweet
by
Alice C. Bateman
I’m having trouble sleeping
Cause you’re not here with me
I run my fingers through my hair
And wonder what will be
How can I get involved again
How can I think to start
Can love brand new fill up the cracks
That life’s put in my heart
Tonight I’ve read each word again
That you have sent to me
I read them all by Coach-light
And I’ve begun to see
That you seem to care a lot
About my life and times
You truly have astounded me
With your romantic rhymes
My Knight in Shining Armor?
Who carries a broad spear?
Will you come to rescue me?
Belay my foolish fear?
My Mother called me Velvet Paws
You call me Velveteen
Perhaps we can forget about
All that’s come in between
We’re both here in this lifetime
It would be good to meet
And see what lies between us
It could be very sweet…
