I used to take that extra moment
to let you feel how much I care
I used to know without you saying
what you wanted - exactly where

And I always did it - so automatic
It seemed to come just naturally
There was no other consideration
I loved you quite intentionally

The wind is known to rearrange direction
A bird midair will change in flight
When least expected we face conditions
tough to focus with perfect sight

I used to give that extra attention
and let you know you were mine
I used to send you silent signals
a message tailored to your design

And I always did it - so automatic
It seemed to come just naturally
There was no other consideration
I loved you quite intentionally

The wind is known to rearrange direction
A bird midair will change in flight
When least expected we face conditions
Tough to focus (even) with perfect sight

We could have reversed the situation
but yet we let it persevere
We could have found a new solution
There simply was not a volunteer
