Write me letters.
Letters not type-written; but letters
from your pen.
Write me not promises, but of truths
you intend.
Tell me not of love ruled by the heart
But of love that sprung from it.
Cherish me if you will,
But don't you smother me.
Care for me then,
But don't cloak me with your vanity.
I will love you.
But I won't control you.
So cherish me as I will,
But let me stand on my feet.
