    If You Love Her

    2005

    If you love her, let her know it
    There are countless ways to show it

    Make her breakfast, buy her flowers
    Hold her through the darkest hours

    Take her dancing, do the dishes
    Grant her silent secret wishes

    Buy teddy bears and bunny rabbits
    Cherish her peculiar habits

    Read her all-time favourite books
    Compliment the way she looks

    Go for walks that take a while
    Choose a song to make her smile

    Feed the birds and talk to cats
    Never mock her love of hats

    Indulge her fantasies and flirting
    Give her comfort when she’s hurting

    Caress her body, stroke her hair
    Fan her passion flame to flare

    Trust her when you’re not together
    Be her shelter from the weather

    Share her dreams and favourite things
    Give her space to spread her wings

    Help her face her doubts and fears
    Hold her hand throughout the years

    In sacred moments, gently pray it
    But don’t forget to also say it

    You don’t have to be a poet
    If you love her, let her know it
