You may not know you love me, You may not value that love you know I bear, You may not see the service That I provide, Nor desire the years of love And dedication that I Offered from figurative And indeed a literal knee, But I know you do love me, Just hoped you'd show it more, Although in fact you do show it when The chips are down, I DO value my love, A truer and rarer thing You will not find, The service? Meh! I love you So it just came but It made a difference to your life, The years that I have offered Appear to count for nowt, But they are what remains Of me, Offered in humility And love, To me these things were And are Important, Not so readily cast aside, Yet it seems you may not Find an answering flame inside, And even that maybe concept Really really hurts,

You May Not
You may not know you love me, You may not value that love you know I bear, You may not see the service That I provide, Nor desire the years of love And dedication that I Offered from figurative And indeed a literal knee, But I know you do love me, Just hoped you'd show it more, Although in fact you do show it when The chips are down, I DO value my love, A truer and rarer thing You will not find, The service? Meh! I love you So it just came but It made a difference to your life, The years that I have offered Appear to count for nowt, But they are what remains Of me, Offered in humility And love, To me these things were And are Important, Not so readily cast aside, Yet it seems you may not Find an answering flame inside, And even that maybe concept Really really hurts,
Exploring the issue of unrequited love. The pain of unknowing, of possible imminent loss.
