ONE LOVE STANDING

I had one love standing
- inside it, ever changing
with things never setting

In endings and yonder
- the flowing, ever fonder
with time never in wonder

Place myself in real space
- no lady made me choice
I see no reason to be force

I had one love standing
- like the last man standing
the bullets, in understanding

I never knew real-love dear
- as fake love spoken to hear
not even once not even a year

Put myself in real pace
- no lady made me case
I see no reason, to mace

In endings and yonder
- the flowing, ever fonder
with time never in wonder

I had one love standing
- in all corners of tending
one love, inside it, standing
