Love’s not simple, God knows it’s not. If it is simple then it is not love. But to make it simple, to make it seem simple, I am sending it out to you, word for word, Line to line, poem after poem. I am handing it out to you Like a million dollar contract. I am making you feel it, touch after touch, One halted-touch to the next, Sadness and happiness. So forgive me, if I burden you With all love’s complexities. Forgive me, if I am heaping it At your feet, all this confusion. My heart is only boat tonight, And you have every right To own the ocean. My mind is only wind tonight, Yours is a closed window. Our hands were the shiest couple, And our elbows were French-kissing For quite some time now. So I have a liking For what I cannot have. I think it is quite clear. Don’t pull me in. Don’t push me away. Don’t tire yourself. Open the door Or just have it closed. But please forgive me, If I knock at your door Forever, for I love you, And I love you, simply, With all its complexities. I am offering you A key to an opened door- My heart. Use it well. Forgive me, dear, But I love you, And it is That simple. © 2011 J.S.P.

Forgive Me
