Lease on Love

Universe, listen

This woman needs a lease on love

Dull the edge of uncertainty, put hesitance on pause.

Give her a year or six months, to measure the worth of a lifetime bet

This woman is not ready for forever just yet,

But she longs for a commitment,

A binding of peace

Where both he and she knows to do the best to keep the lease

While acknowledging the voluntary agreement.

See 'cause the pain will never cease

If one is thrown into love’s fire always to be burned.

The fire should incinerate all desire for anyone else,

The heat is a chance to feel warmth hardly felt,

In this cold world of illusive and unlimited choices

Heads on a swivel, open to alternatives

No patience for her to trust enough to reach out her hands

Because her love is so fierce, She fears he won't understand

It can fill him up, thrill him right

Transform his perspective, change his life

Yes, she holds a love that changes paradigms

But the freezing cruelty of the cold makes focus feel like a waste of time.

She needs him to unravel his security blanket, closed off

Revel in the moment, build with effort, seek the pay off

Because it feels his trust is at a distance,

His heart so far away

She only catches glimpses 

In the silent whispers, but what does he say?

She needs to know she’s his hope and

Just as he needs to know he's her bae

But each one afraid to speak, afraid to be heard

So, Universe, listen!

Create a safe place for the two to hide

So she can get into it

And see him follow behind

Let them know their trust is loyally held.

She desires to stay, show him all of what she’s made

He desires to be known, and to know she wants to stay

And Universe, let them each know any thought to end it all

Makes the romantic endeavor fall, absurd

While a desire to build it, ahh

Always works better with intention and one accord.
