CONTINUING LOVER

 

 

 

This one is meant for another

I tell you now

Since you have yet to discover

Since you have not taken the hints

At first discreetly covered

Now bold and loud

 

But don't take this wrong

I have not used you

Just to move on to another

I tell you now

As now I have discovered

 

My feelings of love

Though forever

Are not those

Of a continuing lover
