I love you more than I can show,
It has been so since long ago;
I’m scared that one day I should go
Where your dear smile on me can’t glow.

I know not how long I can stay
For that is not for me to say;
Those thoughts I’d love to keep at bay
But there are times I feel dismay.

Instead of penning billet-doux
If happiness I could undo;
Wherever life should take me to
Those future tears I could then shoo.

Thanks SEA and Steavenr. I believe you have welcomed me already, for sure I've commented on a few of your poems already - which entails that I do enjoy the read

Yep, billet-doux is a nice soft phrase; "doux" is the French word for "soft" and "billet" is a small (intimate) piece of writing. The key to this poem is that I am an expat who has worked in several countries already.

Have a marvelous day! Mark
