Analysis of Compromises

William Gant 1964 (Florida)



Our love is very special

When it's shared between us two

Honest, trusting, and sincere

It is all too good to be true

People see our togetherness

And not what goes on behind closed doors

But what we know is in one's heart

Has never been explored

But why is a relationship filled with complications and surprises

But when it is done and over

We see the bitter deceptions

But never the compromises.
