I've tried to pretend
You're just another fling
A lover, not a partner,
And, to my pain, make an end

But it doesn't work
And, so, this i know
It was not a fling
But love, so real

And now I've ruined it
Through poetry and notes
Misguided, yet true
I meant no harm

How do we know
If our love is love
The answers simple
Really, it's the best

Imagine being without her
Imagine her not knowing you
If you cry and feel empty inside
True love you have found

I found it once
And this I know
I cry each night
And feel empty so

Through poems I've tried
To show that I love you
But backfired they have
And pushed you away as well

I now have learned
Love hast two sides
It can be a source
Of great pain or joy

I've lost my faith
In almost everything
I'm afraid and alone
Confused and hurting

I've lost you forever
Because I'm creepy
If poems of love love are creepy
I am deeply sorry

I cannot help
The fact that I write
About love and romance
The way I am

The feelings deep inside
Trapped by my soul
Troublesome for me
And to all who hear

If I have done offense
To any who hear me
I'm deeply sorry
For my actions and words

It seems I can't get it right
Perhaps love's not right for me
Maybe I should quit
And never love again

I've done some bad things
Done offense to all who I loved
I wish I'd had a tutor
I wish I'd had a friend

For all my blunders
All my mistakes
I hope you don't take offense
Where none was meant

Poems of love
Are just my way
A shy romantic's only way
Of saying he loves you

This sense of emptiness
I do not like it
I'm finished for now
Of loving, alright?

No more love, no more tears
No more sleepless nights
No more gazes, no more poems
No more love for me

And so I say goodbye
Until my girl comes
I'll sit and admire
From afar, forevermore

My last words to thee
Enjoy the pleasures of life
I'll always love thee so
Yet I bid thee goodbye

With a sorry and goodbye
I bid thee goodnight
Lust is not love
Yet I bid these twins goodnight
