Yes, I will love you when you are no longer famous.
(This poem is the response to the poem "Will you love me when I am no longer famous")
Baby….
I never cared for
The poppin bottles
Comfortable houses and hardwood floors
Dressed up like high fashion models
I never cared for the…
The riches, the expensive, the exquisite
The fine, the lavish, the over the top, the luxury
The travels, the exotic, the fame, the foreign counties and hotel visits
What mattered…was
Was you happy with the life we both lived
Was you at ease with the life choices you made
If something happened and you could not give
A lifestyle that was high paid
You ask me
"Would you love me if I was no longer famous"
That you wanted to leave this life behind, somehow be set free
To again walk amongst the crowd unknowing and nameless
To again be the average, the common, to be loved not for wealth
But simply… for me
Quiet Peace, Quiet privacy
That fame and wealth
Trashes, throws, and burns fearlessly
Again to be left alone to yourself
Without having the phone ring aimlessly
Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring
Baby….
Where ever you go I'll Follow
My water is deep
Not shallow
If you want to leave this life
Together we'll make the leap
we can start tomorrow
Baby…
We can start anew
Let the sands of fame
Wash away with the new
A new quieter life we can claim
Us and we
Were family
You and me
Like peanut butter and jelly
Baby….
I never cared for the poppin bottles
Comfortable houses and hardwood floors
…….
…….
Dressed up like high fashion models
You are at the inner part of my
heart, my core, my balance,
My center
Fame and vast amounts of money
Can be let go so easily
As long as we have each other
To answer your question
Yes, I will love you when you are no longer famous
When they no longer cheer for you
When they no longer clap for you
Yes, I will love you when you are no longer
Famous
