You Ought to Know

What does best means to you?
Is it something or anything that tickles your fancy?
A thing of beauty?
Or a head-turner that drives you crazy?

What does precious means to you?
Is it a hefty sum of money?
A mansion at Hamptons maybe?
Or a Bentley?

What does forever means to you?
Is it a career that assures your stability?
A recognition that validates your competency?
Or an accolade that could bring you to the heights of ecstasy?

Where do you rest your happiness?

I wish I know, so I can lead you there. . .
I wish I know, so I can give it to you. . .
I wish I know, so I can make you stay. . .
I wish I know, so I won’t see you hurting this way. . .

But if you really want to go,
I will let you do so.
But I think before you go,
You ought to know. . .

What best means to me,
Are “the laughter and tears”
We shed.

What precious means to me,
Is the love
You have given me.

And what forever means to me,
Is this love
I have for you.
For not even death,
Can take it away from me.

And what happiness means to me,
Is YOU
And ONLY YOU!
And not even death
Can stop me
From
Loving YOU!

  4. Its really good, its a little different, I might me wrong but maybe a little more angry emotion than your usually poems? But what do I know? I’m sleep deprived! I like it, thats all I know!
