Proven

There have been hours - sometimes almost days -
When you were not the only sight I saw.
There have been minutes spent without your praise,
Or when your wishes were not quite my law.
Say, half a dozen times I've been with you,
And not spent every moment blessing fate;
I ever dare to say - it might be true! -
Some of those times I found it less than great.
Once or twice, although I doubt it's more,
I haven't thought to smile when you came
(But I'll admit, if someone's keeping score,
I may have grinned unthinking all the same).
But these are just exceptions to the rule
That for my love, the sight of you is fuel.
