If I came to your doorstep would you welcome me in

Or would you turn me away in shame

Would you take me to your family in pride of knowing me

Or say you have never heard my name

Would you caress me when we met with open arms

Or would you hide me away in fear of unknown harms

If I beckoned for your love, would you open your heart?

If I asked you for your tenderness, would you kiss away my tears

If I came to you willingly would you give me your love

If I whispered I love you, what would you say?

I give my love freely for it is mine to give

My love has no possessor, my life is mine to live

You wait your entire life for that special love

Then it is unbearable, perhaps because of fear

Perhaps because of circumstance or because of love itself

A special love that leaves an emphisis within you

If you cannot hear the other persons voice

But that makes you feel whole again with one gentle hello

A special love of longing night after night

For just the sight of them or just the feeling of knowing

That they may care too

A love that you kow in this lifetime you will never feel again

Nor would ever want to feel again if it brings you

This much pain not to have it

Oh my special love please come to me

My special one please hold me and tell me this is not

All for nothing

That deep within your soul, your love is the same as mine

We belong together, we need each other

To make out loves  complete

My only one, my treasured one

My special love

Arnold
