I`m not begging your love
Just wishing for more,
if you willingly gave it
I`d accept it for sure.

No pressure on you
Will I ever apply,
There would be no point
If I thought I might try.

Love is a free spirit
That won`t be controlled,
When bestowed on another
It`s a joy to behold.

You care with reserve
Always on the defence,
The tough life you have lived
I can see this makes sense.

I pray soon you`ll believe
There is safety with me,
Your instinct to wander
You then can set free.

When trust finally arrives
If it seeps into your heart
Contentment will follow
Then we`ll never part.

In the meantime I`m waiting
Listening for your first purr,
Then I`ll know you are happy
Inside your soft feline fur.
