Lauren, My Lauren

Just wanted to say quite simply,
Rather casually and unceremoniously.
With the most nonchalant of tones,
And in the most cavalier fashion;

That I cannot hold you forever,
Or miss you when youre with me.
Save you from crying your tears,
And protect you from what will come.

Neither can I promise you prosperity,
Persuade the stars to shine for you.
Nor give you my out-most affection,
Continue to adore you the way I do.

But so long as I hold you still,
And miss you when youre with me.
I can assure I will endeavour to do,-
-All those promises just made to you...
