Analysis of Here For You
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
When had I not,
Been here for?
Or wherever you were,
To be there too!
And not at any time,
Did you hear an excuse.
I could have easily used.
My interest and concern,
For you I 'assumed' proven.
And...
Here for you I am again,
Assuming to believe...
You feel the same about me.
Yet...
There and here I am for you so much,
You probably have not had the time...
To think of me.
As having nothing to need.
Or want to wish from you to get!
But here for you I am.
Whenever you get that thought.
And time to ask.
Since...
Nowhere else would I rather be,
But here for you!
