Once upon a time
a percentage of your heart
Was all that was required
but the flames of lust have expired
Stages of love demand
we outgrow that which is bland
Moving on until we
with whole hearted and honest plea
Find someone who
can give and willingly pursue
The depths of heartfelt
care without needing a safety belt
Reigning them in
ready and able to take it on the chin
Involved from the start
who will do their utmost, their part
In making this
relationship work, it’s yours and his
