For love or.....

it's not for the $
i never ask for
i overwork for
know you'd give it if...
i ever asked.

might be for love
thought i've learned to
love u and hate you
simultaneously

more for security
cuz i know you
don't sleep well
and my insomnia
has me kissing the moon beams away
to make room for sun's rays

cuz i know you
need something to come home to
and i don't really want to be alone
and it feels good to know
someone
cares

for this
i'd wed you
not for the babies
or the $$$
or the trips

though they are nice
i just need to know

you're there.
