Definitions and Lessons

The saddest part of my broken heart

is that it is based on a love

a love that I define

a love that you define

a love that we both interpret differently

but ignorantly called it the same.

When I say "love"

you say "yes"

when you say "love"

I say "yes"...

Giving the same answer

to two completely different questions-

calling it the same....

I wish I would have made sure

that you knew that when I say "love"

I mean forever

I mean through it all

I mean through mistakes

I mean through our growth

I am incapable of pulling the plug

on something I've once proclaimed as supernatural,

having only given it life

for such short time....

In my love,

a decade of horror is

fractional

on the timeline of love's history.

In my love,

one separates the behavior

from the individual.

And if you meant what you said

when you say that you love,

you acknowledge that fact of difference.

In my love,

one doesnt ask one to change,

but one would change anything in the name of love...

I knew better-

and next time I'll stay true

to my own heart

to its defenses

to its principles

I'll have all definitions clarified

so I dont have to learn the difficult lesson of

falling again for

a little boy's heart

disguised as a man's

love.
