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.
