Love Poem: The Lottery Ticket

The Lottery Ticket

If all we had was each other
Would that be enough for you
To stay with me be my honeybee
Just you for me and me for you

If all our possessions and material things were gone
Would I alone be enough to hang on
Could you love me poor with my pride in doubt
Or would you find a way out

I hold the lottery ticket in my hand
It's everything I dreamt or dare to plan
So why do I not tell you
Am I afraid it could reveal you

Is happiness things we can't afford
Is it human nature to long for more
What if we could have anything
Would love survive the strain

If all we had were each other
Would that be enough for me
To stay with you and be your sweet baboo
Just me for you and you for me

No one really wins the lottery
No one stays the same winning the lottery
Six numbers randomly picked
I place in your hand the lottery ticket
