It's Those Little Things


I will do what's right,

Make things okay if e're there was a fight.

See, I will hold you,

I know you would hold me, too,

That's the thing to do

When you're in this state of having no clue

As to what to do.

I will do what's right,

If money is tight,

I will work two jobs,

But not if my heart throbs

Against my chest to where I cannot breathe.

I will do what's right,

When it's dark and light,

It's day and night with you, love,

And I will do as you do,

Work and play through and through,

It isn't hard to make things work,

It's how I know it's right, like artwork.

If the strokes are too thick, too tough to make beautiful,

I'd know the painting was much harder than usual.

That's how I know we are okay,

It doesn't take a poem to say,

But I'm writing this anyway,

Because it's the least I could do to show,

It's the least I could do to let you know,

That I do what's right, let things take flight.

I enjoy all that we do, not a moment to rue,

And I say that honestly, absolutely flawlessly,

Because I love you.
