I am your last lover
my arms never tire opening and waiting
with patience I never knew I had
I offer you a last resort
no pretense dwells within my heart
I will love your weariness
your trembling lips without their rose
if you are sorrowful
I will coax a smile
I am your comfort without worrisome taglines
I am your last lover

Devotion...without measure. The giving of oneself without expectations.

Well done JerryPat.
