My affection doesn’t require reciprocity.
There is no requirement for something so unconditional.
My affection is a choice.
A decision I made before I met you.
A lesson I learned as a kid,
Treat others how you wanna be treated.
My affection doesn’t require reciprocity
A heart worn on a sleeve
Exposed by nature
Weathering every storm
Bringing in the light
A light bringer if you will
Treat others how you wanna be treated
My affection doesn’t require reciprocity
Just as the sun never asks for permission to do it’s job
I am here to live in its entirety
Provide life in places that might seem dead
Treat others how they want to be treated
My affection doesn’t require reciprocity
I set these boundaries because I love myself
Yet, I choose to be selfless in my interior
Exposed as if my heart is the sleeve
It’s raining
I see you’re cold
Here’s my jacket
Treat others how you’d like be treated
As I stand here soaked
I must ask…
Who will cover me?
My affection doesn’t require reciprocity
But I should have led by example
