Take me not for a fool for caring,
See me not naïve for loving
Treat me not like a puppet for being of service
Have me not be another for I am the only
My heart may overflow with love but it too aches,
My eyes may spark the light in you but they too do cry,
My arms may be as warm as summer but they too have gone cold
My hands may give but they too once did not have
This big heart you find residence in is no field to tap dance on
This forgiving heart of mine has dealt
I am of no vanity nor am I made of steel
The god in me may shine brightest but evil lives in me too
Blame me not for the sorrows your ones may have given you
Punish me not for their lack of ability to love you
For when I walk I look not behind,
For when I shut down no fuel of yours can make me accelerate
I wave once, I sail once
I give chance but not too many
Naïve as my love may seem to be to you
Its pain made my heart wise
Caring is not stupidity
So never confuse me to be the one that will slave for your love
For love has come for and left me
For people have seen me later overlooked me
I’m no fool for you
I’m a fool for what love be –
Kind, sweet, forgiving, accepting, understanding….
Even so I know when it’s time to take a leap and when to guard self
For love is not hard or forced
For love is not pain but rebirthing
I may be the one that chose you
But I too can be the one to leave you
Like the wind I will carry you
Not as my own but the one that took my breath away.
