what does it take to be with you

will it even have to take a miracle?
i sure hope not, but it does sound interesting.
would it take me a million letters
to bring me to you?

what does it take to win your heart?
a show of strength, a game of chance?
would i have to perform some unusual dance
just to prove that i even have a chance?

what does it take to make you think of me?
a walk in the park, a trip to a movie,
a treat through lunch, a romantic dinner?
what would it take me to become the winner?

what does it take to hold your hand?
we do not need to cross the road do we,
in some luck, perform slow dances
or play ring-around-the-roses?

must it take a perfect poem
all rhymy and sweet
can't i just give you something
to eat? or myself incomplete?

tell me what it takes to be with you
or maybe dont. can't i just be the same
me, and my boring antics -
simple and in love?
