Why
lovely eyes
have you happened upon me?
Drawing a map
with precise directions
just when it was believed
I would wander
aimlessly searching
through windows and doors
for something
I wasn't sure how to find

If I could
I would go back
to the very start.
Erase all others who have dared
to come before you
and your lovely eyes.
Erase all who taught me wrong
and trained my heart to believe
it was love being traded.

I beg of you
not to become a prophecy
self-fulfilled by time.
If this is too good
to be true
I don't want to know the truth.
