"To Receive In Return"

Some people love the players

While others love the game

Sometimes you only give as much of yourself as you receive in return

Fragile is the heart

And should not be played with

Life moves in one direction

Foot steps forward should be planted well

So why do you ask me to take a path that you are not willing to walk yourself?

Love is just a word until you give it meaning

Empty are your hands that gesture

A wall surrounds your heart

Some words require action

To secure the meaning

You need to learn how to be happy by standing upon your own two feet

Before you walk along side another

Then maybe... one day...

I'll be what you need

It all depends upon you

But don't wait too long...

For the day you finally decide you want me

May be the day I've finally given up upon you...
