I would not bend a road
to loose one mile between us
or dash afar to behold your radiant soul
and if for you i am held to wait
no time too much the waiting for

Now, this much i'll consider
the price, the prize, the joy
if for you i should wait, my love
would be of the heart
'tis nothing more

The R in Romance must also stand for "Robert"...

Am finding this particularly appropriate today.  You nailed that verse!

This almost has the tendency to
be a puzzle poem..."does he love me, love me not"
with a bit of hope
at the end...

I read this yesterday, several times, and found it again today, to be a very pleasant read...

Enjoyed the simplicity and the fact that love is worth waiting for.

Great title and sentiment.

Nice work Robert Frazier..

Robert--seems no matter how far or close you are to it, love is always in the center.  Enjoyed this!
