came a day,  and it was autumn again.
green ran to where summer was,
yellow and crimson  turned grey and brown
cold colors covered the world.

thus, midday on thursday,
the sun burst through,  intermittently,
the red and orange
lingering  made autumn look beautiful.

when down fluttered
the prettiest gold leaf
     right beside
             me.
hello said the leaf!  

a leaf is mute. But I heard a voice, in the cool breeze
speak so clearly.

I in awe , noticed the tree from where the leaf
fell, standing tall and naked say,
you are just out of tune.

Keeping time, then with
the old tree I rhymed.

rhythmed,
played with the one leaf,
and a tree who both so clearly spoke to me.

I woke up then to
see, I had fallen fast asleep and it was winter.

over above the sweet almond scent
the grey windows open
outside the forget-me-nots
flower in window pots
in a distance a small imaginary child
awaits them

You know why I think love is difficult for many?

They're always searching for "the one"...

Do we really know there is such a thing as "the one",
Could be a myth if you ask me?

I can't make me love you if I don't
I can't make my heart feel something it won't.

I think I'm the worst kind of guy...
Deceitful,
But I don't mean to be.
It's just because I flicker from using my brain to using my heart.

I don't mean to mislead a girl,
I don't mean to break hearts,
I'm just searching for my one true love,
But it's harder than I imagined :

To go on this journey without leaving hearts broken.
Because I'm deceitful,
First following my heart,
Thinking you're the one,
Then following my brain,
Realising that we need to end things,
Because my conscience tells me I'm doing the wrong thing by holding onto you,
Even though you fill me up with so much joy and love...
It keeps whispering,
"You don't deserve her."
