The quality of me
Has nothing to do with you
But like a gem in the night
I'm ripe for the taking

Think for a moment
Is that really true
Am I a gem
Waiting for you
Or is it maybe better
If I were to say
That I am a could be
A hoped for someday

It could also be said
That gem is not exactly true
For a gem derives it value
From me and you
And nowhere have I seen
That the same could be said
Of the value me
A hoped for someday
Has value just because it is
