A Piece to My Puzzle

If love flows smoothly like a river,
As if listening to the melody of a nightingale
And recognise the world and its beauty 
Like seeing love and chaos blended.

I can't help but have a sight of a girl,
The important piece to my puzzle 
Like she's the most beautiful creation 
And as unforgettable as a photographic memory.

Yet I always feel unworthy of her love 
And my heart is locked in a cage,
But I feel empty without her love 
And how long can I love her dearly.

It might drive me crazy
That she gives me butterflies,
But I always try to run away from it
As if I knew it deep from my heart.

A tender, youthful free-verse poem that captures love’s wonder alongside its uncertainty. The river, nightingale, puzzle, cage, and butterflies create a heartfelt sequence of images, while the speaker’s vulnerability gives the piece an honest emotional pull.
