for months we grew in knowledge and in love, through loving--leaving--loving, holding still, always both snarling wolves and cooing doves, both love and anger rendered my heart ill,
i bid her fond farewell but for a spell, to clear the mind and cleanse the ailing heart, i asked, please wait, yet if you can't, be well, and find a good man, make a brand new start,
i watch her from my secret distant place, her growing closeness to a man i chose, my blessing sits half-twisted in my face, both wishing well and not, to what now grows,
though bluntly wrong for me i so adore, the one i've loved for months behind my door
