Won’t you tell me that you love me? Even if it is a lie. I need to hear the words, once, in a while. They’re most effective, whispered softly, delivered with a kiss… And it wouldn’t even hurt, if there’s a smile. I know that I’m a hardcase, and hard to be around- I’ve been called insensitive, often enough. But there are tender feelings, hidden somewhere deep inside- Beneath an outward shell, abrupt and gruff. If I could be transparent, you would like the man inside- At least I try to sell myself on that. But it seems the tender feelings I have always had to hide. Emotion is a weakness where I’m at. Three words are worth a fortune, especially if they’re meant- Even if they aren’t, they are mighty good to hear… If you say them to me, darling, I would call them heaven sent- Even tender lies can be held dear. |

Beautiful, John! You are much lovelier than you ever describe and not such a hard case either.  |
