Once A Liar...Not Always A Liar.... Poem by Ted Sheridan

I was a liar.....
When as a young man I first said I loved you
Back then I didn't know what it meant to Love
in the real sense...
I would always tell you and insist to be believed
that you could never find someone who could love you
more than me....
for there was no Love greater than mine...
Today...I still lie about my weight or my height
as somehow your eyes can't see me shrinking in size....
But....
when I look into your big brown eyes...I tell the truth
I Love You....and I realize
The truth is: There is no Love.....
Greater than the love
you have had for me....
