my heart and my head debate:
my heart,
to love well and enveloping
to write poetry about her eyes
to love every inch of her face
to memorize the curve of her lips
to know her as well
as i know myself

my head,
to hide her in the depths of my soul
to yearn for her silently
to only think when she can be mine alone
to envelop myself within the thought of her
and not her arms

for if i dare to love freely,
i will never be free again.
