If Someone

If someone walked up to me

And handed me a million dollars

And said, "Give up your love for this money,"

I would say no.



If someone walked up to me

And put a gun to my head

And said, "Will you take a bullet to spare your love's life?"

I would say yes.



If someone walked up to me

And asked why I love you

I wouldn't be able to tell them.



My love for you

Has no reason

No question

No answer

No justification.

It's like Apple Jacks...

Just because.



No one can tell me I can't love you.

No one can tell me I don't know how to love you.

No one can take me away from you.

No one can take you away from me.

No one can stop us.



We will run this world

We will run our lives

We will love each other

We will reach for the skies.



We will make love together

We will own a home

We will start a family

We will never be alone.



I will hold you in my arms

Until the end of time.

To save your life

I'd spend my every dime.



Nothing will change

My love for you.

And I want you to know

I'll forever be true.



If someone walked up to me

And asked me why I love you

I'd tell them...

"You will never understand."
