Sometimes I think I know,
And then I remember I don't.

When I'm in need it's always you
But when I'm strong my need is gone
What does that mean?

Who are you to have this effect on me but still I am not allowed to truly love you

When it appears you are no longer partly mine
I yearn for you

And when you have another to distract and occupy your mind
you turn back to me every time

How do I love you
When will the penny drop
Are you the one or are you not?

To be around you now
I feel that there has been love lost
But still a fragment remains
Enough to fill the hole upon my heart
Others have tried to fill in vain

The thought of you I fear
Is a fantasy of heights
Never to be reached by others
Or worse by yourself

Where is the line drawn on sacrifice and lovers less?
Do you wait to find the certainty of every want
Or at a point,
And dare I say
Settle on a lesser love

How easy it would be to just love and be loved
To know and be known
No doubt
No hesitation
Just to purely, deeply, love another

But alas it is not so
To love it not a friend nor is it a foe
But vague and uncertain
It is blind
Like walking through a foggy night

You are the flicker of a flame in the spectrum that is love
And even though it may be small
It is there where no fire was before

Is love a flower if not watered will not survive

Or is it eternal and needs nothing to stay alive
