When all that matters to you
Melted away unheralded
When all that got your heart knitted
Ceased to be visible
Without putting you in the picture
Would you still love?

You so much appreciate her beauty
You show her up at every opportunity
That you have
His handsomeness keeps on
Sweeping you off your feet
And you couldn't ask for more

But when the beauty faded away
When the face wrinkled
And the inner beauty
Changed due to some circumstances
That are beyond their control
Would you still love?

He's a man of affluence
He would provide shelter from storm
And cater for virtually all my needs

He's going to be a caring husband
And father to our kids
He has money to purchase comfortability
So, my status is changing

What if you wake up one morning
And noticed that the affluence
Has disappeared into thin air
Would you still love?

Her parents are well-to-do
They would support our family
She's buoyant on her own
She's not going to be a liability

His parents arewell connected
They are people of affluence and influence
We're going to be a perfect match

Perhaps, your believes and wishes
Became a mirage
Would you still love?

(Watch out for 2)
