a poem i updated

By david On March 14th, 2005

i’m in love with a girl
who doesn’t even know my name,
but that’s alright,
cause i have tried, but
not seen and deciphered

and how long will i spin
in a cycle of lost causes
and broken hearts?
cause i don’t know
how much more i can take

as i slide back and forth
between waves of distress,
and feel vainly devoted
to a promise beyond
my understanding

i’d rather sing and dance,
and laugh outloud,
and write a song
that i’ll only play for you
when we fall in love

but even as i write these words,
my mind speeds down
that lonely desert highway,
while my heart strains
to hitch a ride home

so here’s to you,
my love,
when you hear me
i’ll be screaming:
she’s mine forever

and you will be mine,
until time no longer matters
and our hearts are melded into one;
and this is not just love,
this is romance
