This Lover Is Not a Quitter

At my surprise,I've discovered
that in the depth
of this doubt:
there's an intense liking
that keeps me wondering
whether or not
to bring it out
with an incredible shout!

I wouldn't turn
a good thing down
and proclaim this lover
is not a quitter:
when an honest face
strikes me with joy and excitement,
I don't have the simplest 
reason to pretend or not
to have heard that mysterious name
in some other place!

Anxious to find out
how many words or sounds
make up that memorable sentence
that can't hold down my obstinence
from the purest desire pounding inside
this fearful chest...
hiding the most truthful heart!

Would I deny myself the joy
of being indulgent
and disclaim that this lover
is not a quitter
to those who have more doubts
than an ounce of pity?
Envious eyes laid on me...
can't change or threat anything
I offer with honesty;
nothing can destroy this ego,
it is my glorious destiny to give love
and make a woman's heart sing!
