How Much More?

How many more poems should
I read to you for you to
understand my love is true?

How many more "I love you's" do
I have to say for you to hear
that I really do love you?

How many more falling stars
do I have to wish on
just to keep you?

How many more hugs should I
have to give to make you
feel my love?

Where else should I touch you
to let you know that I really
care?

How many more days and nights
do I have to be with you to
show you that I'm here to stay?

How much more smile do I have
to show to show you that I'm
here to cheer you up?

How much more time do I have
to spend with you each day
to show you that I think of you?

What other stories and jokes
do I have to tell for you
to stay interested?

And what other secret do I have
to whisper in your ear to tell you
that these secrets are the ones
you need to hear?

How much more beautiful do I
have to be just so you wouldn't
notice someone else?

What kind of kiss do I
need to give you for you
to feel that you are mine?

What else do I have to sacrifice
so you'll be assured that
I will take care of you?

How long of a patience do I
need to have to understand
your tantrums and fears?

And how long do I have to wait
till the time comes that you
finally believe me and love me
wholeheartedly?
