“Golden Things" Oh, he promised me rings... and golden things, And a house looking over the sea... But I never said once, to that boy at my side, That all I wanted was him... next to me... He gave me his dreams, his exalted schemes, Of the hopes that he planned to make true, But I never said once, to that boy trying so- That my love, demanded no clue... He gave what he could... and I took what I should... And our days, were long and green... But I never said once, to the boy wanting me- That it was love, gave life its sheen... How the years wash away... Like the waves in the Bay... Love for him, is a game to play For his dreams became things- And his schemes were the means, Of making every wish come my way... But I lost him somewhere... as he climbed up the stair... Where's the boy my man used to be? With his rings on my hands- and his gold shining 'round... I'm alone in my house by the sea For I should have said once- to this man that I loved... That all I wanted... was him... loving me.” — V.C. Andrews
