Would You Be My Stop Gap Lover?

You will be, but only till I find that one
Sounds unfair but we will have all the fun
You will play second fiddle all day
We cannot play it any other way
You will be like a square peg in a round hole
An imperfect fit, you do not quite fit my soul
And this is all that you will be,
A stop gap lover just to please me.

We would not walk hand in hand down the high street
But I will hold you tight and give you a private treat
We would not go on fancy candle light dates
But I will turn the lights low and rip off your lace
We would not go telling friends we are a couple
But I will be there under the sheets to snuggle
And this is all I ask of you,
To be my stop gap lover, please do.

I promise to have you on speed dial
But you know we will never go down the aisle
I promise to spend time and watch movies together
But not in the cinema, on the sofa rather
I promise to buy you gifts and presents
But this will hardly cause your heart’s movements
Please be mine,
My stop gap lover, just consign.
