Love Takes Time

Love, you say you love me
How could this be true?
I've only just met you
Love takes time to develop
It's not an instant thing
You can't know what love is
If you say it this soon

Love takes time
It develops with trust,
patience, caring, understanding
You have yet to earn that of me
I have loved before

True love, an unconditional caring
This love will never be lost
For true love lasts a lifetime
What you feel for me is not true
True lust maybe but not love

Time, I need
Feelings, Confused
Thoughts, Mixed up
Memories, Still there
Touch, Remembered
Kisses, Dreamt of
His, Not yours
Sorry, I am
Forget, I must
Time, I need
