I’D SETTLE by eric-jon

I’ve had first loves
And worse loves then ones you could imagine
Lost love
And frosty love
I’ve lost a love to fashion.
A love that I would walk on moonlit beaches skipping pebbles.

For your love,
I’d settle.

I’ve had rich loves
Quick loves
A love to last all night.
Cheap loves
And deep loves
A love that’s far too tight.
A love that I would bring back home for mom to miff and mettle.

For your love,
I’d settle.

At times I feel so helpless, that I’ve gone through all my love, we only get so
many loves, and I’ve wasted mine on some.
I need a love with whim and might to coddle and to spar.
A love to keep me warm at night, if only from a far.
A love to give it plain and true, which makes me think of you.

I’ve had safe love
And chaste love
And more than one mans share of wasted love
But I’ve tasted love with all the warmth and care
To last me though a lifetime till we’re buried in the ground.

For your love, I’d settle down.
