So What

by Brianna Lane (December 2006)

So what
I gave up
And I gave in to you

Here’s a hand knit sweater
Some stones and a feather
Now do with me
What you will
And I’ll settle right down, with you

You’re my great American novel
You’re a whisper in a hollow
You’re the sunlight on the bridges I have burned
You’re the song I keep on singing
You’re the dream I keep on dreaming
You are every inspiring bird

So what now
I am yours
Happily yours
Forever for keeps
And I’ll settle right down
With you

Now the dog gets long walks
And you and I
We have long talks
I liked cats and you were awfully quiet before
Surprise surprise a spark turned to a fire
And you and I, like a bicycle tire,
We’re just rollin along…..

So what now
I am yours
Happily yours
Forever for keeps
And I’ll settle right down
With you
