I'm Gonna Stay Hopin' (I Know Love) Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I'm gonna stay hopin',
That your heart for me soon opens.
And those cold shoulders that you keep,
Begin to thaw and warm up for me.
Yeah.
I'm gonna remain hopin',
That your heart for me soon opens.
And those cold shoulders that you keep,
Begin to melt to receive my love.

I've gotta hunch you've been nibbled and munch on,
Too long and you've been crunched...
By someone wanted lunch,
And...
You paid with love.

I've gotta hunch you've been nibbled and munch on,
Too long and you've been crunched...
By someone wanted lunch,
And...
You paid with love.

I'm gonna stay hopin',
That your heart for me soon opens.
And those cold shoulders that you keep,
Begin to thaw and warm up for me.

I know love.
And I know how to feel it deep.
You will never have to worry about me,
Fooling around to sneak.

I said I know love.
And I know how to feel it deep.
For you I'm gonna stay hopin',
Your heart opens up to see...
That I know love.
Not to leave but keep.
I know about love.
And I'm hopin',
You will open up your heart for me.

I know love.
And I know how to feel it deep.
I know about love.
And I know how to feel it deep.
I know love.

I'm gonna stay hopin'...
For your love.
Trust me.
I'm gonna stay hopin'...
For your love.
