Breaking Down of Walls

Initial separation attempts
Are now in the past
I’m curious to see
How long this thing will last

Confused by new thoughts
And if emotions prove true
Where would that lead us
And what would we do?

My heart and soul are shaking
You amaze me without trying
You seem to really understand
My heart’s intricate design

You spark a fire inside of me
You enlighten my life, my ways
You’re the artist playing my heart strings
Upon which my emotion lays

Once an unrequited queen
My attempts to remain strong
Are broken down by what seems to be
Hearts beating the same song

Not knowing where life could take us
We pause to ask ourselves why
Were we chosen to be more than friends
Or simply passers-by?

Very nice quatrain expressing what love is doing to you, yet still not totally sure, if this will last. Thank you for sharing. Caroline.
