Playing for keeps

Quite fond of my find

So I keep her in mind

(Not that I have much of a choice)

She warms with her gaze

Leaving me in a daze

Plus she has that sweet soothing voice

Knows just what to say

To make pain go away

When words fail, there’s always her touch

I had to be shown

Or I’d never have known

That I could love someone so much

Now that it’s been felt

And the cards have been dealt

There’s no way that I’ll ever fold

Bets stay as I planned

And I’ll play out this hand

As long as it’s hers that I hold
