Help me understand.
How do I tell a flower
Not to bloom right now?
•×•
Or force the children
That they must stop, not grow up
When they should each day?
•×•
How to pause the leaves
From falling from its strong stems
Fighting gravity?
•×•
How to tell the sea
To steady its tides and waves
When I want it to?
•×•
How to stop myself
From falling in love with you
‘Cause I shouldn’t do?
•×•
In a quandary
I ask these questions and more
Yet still unanswered.
•×•
I compare myself
To a little bud that blooms
It’s now or never.
•×•
My feelings that grows
Akin to a naïve child
That just keeps growing.
•×•
Inevitable
It happens without warning
Leaves fall when they wilt.
•×•
A delighted heart
While you tease my mind and soul
In rare depths and waves.
•×•
I search for answers
For my confused heart and mind
For things that matter.
•×•
I seek responses
To rationalise the why’s
I shouldn’t love you.
•×•
With each strong reason
I find better excuses
Why I should love you.
•×•
My abysmal will
I can’t catch feelings for you
A broken promise
•×•
I did what I could
My best efforts only failed
I’ve fallen for you.
•×•
My heart melted in your warmth
My love flowed in rivulets
Like spring’s melting ice.
•×•
I shouldn’t love you
For a million reasons yet
I truly love you.
