Romantic Insurance
There will come a day when I forget
to furnish you with flowers
and your noble heart will grieve
o'er the chilled dimming of bright fire.
But fear deceives us best
when we know there's much to lose.
As for my lapse - don't let it frighten;
for in a way it means the opposite of
what you think.
For my own imperfect mind
forgot to remind me to prove
what it assumed you already knew:
that flowers and chocolates
and poems and kisses
and all else that I could give you
are insufficient - unequal to what you deserve.
And, to my feeble mind,
such things were unnecessary -
for I thought you knew
that I loved you.
