I Wouldn't Mind

Thomas Riley Smith c.2022

If you gave me a rose that was
a day or two old or a diamond
with a flaw or a ring that wasn't gold.
If you wrote me a poem,
that didn't quite rhyme
I wouldn't mind

I wouldn't mind
a little more time with
you to do everything we want to do.

Together is a song and a photograph.
Together is a real good meal.
Together is a TV show ya love,
watchin' Vanna spin the wheel.
Together doesn't mind being alone,
if it knows you're always there.
Together is a conversation,
where every word is a prayer.

If you gave me a book with the
last chapter gone, I'd write it myself
and when you came along you could
cross all my T's and dot all my I's,
I wouldn't mind.

I wouldn't mind
a little more
time with you to do
everything we want to do.

Together is a revelation of
a truth you've always known.
Together is a gift and a talent,
together is a permanent loan.
Together rips off the paper,
but it always saves the bow,
and it never has to ask,
should I stay or should I go?

And, I wouldn't mind spending
every day with you.
I think that you would like that too,
what do ya say?

I wouldn't mind
a little more time with
you to do everything we want to do.

Together is a super power
instinctually it knows,
when to take it down low and
when to go go go and
I wouldn't mind
spending every day with you
I think that you
would like that too,
what do ya say?

What do you say?
What do you say?
Tell me, What do you say?
Tell me, What do you say?
