Love
She is so pretty.
Does she want me?
If she does not,
then it's some courtly love situation.
I'm ugly, I'm fat, I'm poor.
But I can still love.
I love her, I've fallen in love with her.
"Tell me what's on your mind,"
the parental mind says.
I don't want to tell you what's on my mind.
I want her. I love her.
She is pretty and lively.
She has a feeling of confidence
and competence that I need.
I fell in love. I desire that young lady.
Unrequited love is not "love";
it's wishful thinking.
Popular wisdom: there's somebody for everybody.
No, but no! The one I've fallen in love with!
Please, please Cupid, or you're no good!
Love is inevitably a two-way street
that becomes a one-way street.
Cupid is blind. Cupid has trouble on any street.
Does she want me?
If she does not,
then it's some courtly love situation.
I'm ugly, I'm fat, I'm poor.
But I can still love.
I love her, I've fallen in love with her.
"Tell me what's on your mind,"
the parental mind says.
I don't want to tell you what's on my mind.
I want her. I love her.
She is pretty and lively.
She has a feeling of confidence
and competence that I need.
I fell in love. I desire that young lady.
Unrequited love is not "love";
it's wishful thinking.
Popular wisdom: there's somebody for everybody.
No, but no! The one I've fallen in love with!
Please, please Cupid, or you're no good!
Love is inevitably a two-way street
that becomes a one-way street.
Cupid is blind. Cupid has trouble on any street.
