if you love me

Like I said on the main blog, I'm an idealistic, hopelessly hopeful romantic. Written last year I think.

if you love me
please don’t shower me with expensive gifts
a little look and a little smile will suffice
what i want is your heart,
not your money.

if you love me
please don’t whisk me off to fancy restaurants or crowded parties
a little picnic or a trip to the nearest mall will suffice
what i want is your company,
not that of strangers.

if you love me
please don’t say forever
an assurance that you love me now will suffice
what i want is sincerity,
not sugar-coated flattery.

if you love me
please don’t die for me
that is easier than living on without me
what i want is for you to be strong,
not your life for mine.

love is in the little things…
the way you:
look at me
smile at me
take my hand
show you care
love is in the little things.

Do you love me?
