He asked me to be there
I couldn’t say no
He asked for my love
I couldn’t say no
He told me it was only
One of those things
You read about in novels
The loveless life
The broken hearts
And the longing for an old flame
He asked me to be there
I couldn’t say no
He asked for my love
I couldn’t say no
We once were lovers
And now dear friends
But the lines would blur
That early September morning
When he felt lost
And I took a risk
He asked me to be there
I couldn’t say no
He asked for my love
I couldn’t say no
Sharing a moment
That will forever be
Held in my heart
Like a fantasy
One day
One chance
He asked me to be there
I didn’t say no
He asked for my love
I didn’t say no
Because I love him
(I love him so)
(I love him)

Yes, nicely penned and such an apt rendition of risk.
Thanks so much my friend!
You are most welcome.
I can really feel the passion in this! It made me think of my longterm boyfriend (we live together now and are talking about engagement soon) 🙂 Love is such a wonderful thing! You captured the need to help when someone you cherish asks so well
Thanks so much for your comments. Love is wonderful, yes!
