A Love That Takes Its Time

there is no torrid turmoil, and there's no palpitation
no need to push description towards exaggeration
there is no overreaching and no excessive laughter
no cries for joy, no bouts of giddiness

there are no flights of fancy, no overestimation
that classifies it all as extreme intoxication
no frantic fuss, no frenzy, no overboard pretension
no overstated words of happiness

it is a love that takes it time
no violins, or bells that chime
only the sweet serenity of looking on the face
of someone dear to me who is growing ever closer

no singing choirs of angels proclaiming proclamations
no verses loud and boisterous declaring declarations
no need to be expressed as over-the-top excitement
in knowing every day is better yet

it is a love that takes it time
no violins, or bells that chime
only the sweet serenity of looking on the face
of someone dear to me

it is a love that takes it time
no violins, or bells that chime
only the sweet serenity of looking on the face
of someone dear to me who is growing ever closer
