Half a Mind

I often wonder if I were to wander about
How often i'd fall into love or into doubt
Then she slips up and catches me again
Frees me as I ponder, just who have I been?

You could say darling, that I have half a mind
Cause the other one isn't mine to mind, yet
It was a startling find to be sure, oh to be sure
Of anything with her, her love my only cure!

Oh exclamatory sentences are fair game in love
War within went off without a hitch, like a glove
Honey because you had the other half, snatched
It right out from under my nose, and thatched
Together a right charming peace.

It sounds to me like you are already in love, and that she is too. Sweet verse on the imaginings that go along with that state of mind

Oh trust me, it is her :) Of course one of us is that wicked kind of clever and the other is more of the logical kind of clever.
