Love's Fools

You stand there like a mystery Waiting to unfold You have my eyes fixed on only you The rest of life is on hold I stare at you, you stay put Pretending you don't notice me But every now and then I'll catch That smile you think I can't see You only give me the least & stay distant, its understandable Any more we put in Is just reaching for the impossible I'm stuck in one place I'm not going either direction You refuse to move forward But you still want my affection Wanting what's desirable Holding back because of rules Dangling right in front of us Once again, Love has played us for fools

OMG! Have you gotten that feeling where you don't know what to say? Well, I don't know what to feel. Wierd? I think so too. This poem is so meaningful because, poems are left for open translation for those to whom the poem is not written to or about. But for those to whom it applies, it hits hard. For good or for worse, and I dont know which category I fall in. Beautiful. Simply Beautiful.
