Robert Lansing - Why I Love You

I told you that
I love you.
Then, you
Asked me why.

Good question!
For I hadn't
Really thought of the reason
Until now, so

You'll have to excuse me
For a while as
I go back to
When it all started...

Looking back,
I realize that
My eyes weren't
The ones that
Saw you that day,
But my heart.

I think it's clear
Why I love you:

Because,

You are my Venus,
The one I worship and love and more.

Hear, my heart beats out:
'It's-true, it's-true, it's-true, ...'!

Robert Lansing
