For Frances

Forever isn't long enough, romance can never die

And in you I see something beautiful from the corner of my eye

So forgive me if I seem a little mad in what I do

These occurrences are natural when I turn my thoughts to you

If only I was brave enough to give it to you straight

But I'm not, so with this poem here and now I delegate

I hope you keep it close to you, so forever it may be

A reminder of my affection, that would mean the world to me
