If you ever do stop to love me,
I will be here with the key to the locked doors,

Engraved with your name upon a ring, if you wish,
Or maybe just sit to talk not drink our sorrows.

A woman to a man is none less than beauty,
As a man to a woman is none more than everything,

Water falls as water does,
As you will if you ever do stop to love me.

And if you do I have undivided attention in my cold hands,
All for one, for it is undivided.

If there could be a flower for every time you perched in my mind,
We would have ourselves the most magnificent garden.

Old is fragile and needs care,
As I hope you do if you ever stop to love me.

You thought you were trash and never my treasure,
I feel I’ve watched from afar as our paper stays clean,

But I have been patient,
And I have waited,

Because time goes on as time does,
And maybe one day,
If you ever stop to notice:
You could love me.
