Confusion of Love's Illusions
There have been a few goodbyes
Coupled with quite a few tries
How many smiles?
How many cries?
Is it true love that we have failed to recognize?

They say it takes work, but not this much
Why did we have to argue over such and such?
With all we've been through, I somehow still long for your touch

I'm always expressing
And you seem to be digesting
These words that I utter
And every time I speak or write, I wonder if they still make your heart flutter

I know you want me in your life
But what role am I to play?
I don't truly know what I want from you, or what to even say

You realize it's actually been a lot of years?
And we've cried many tears.
We've swallowed our pride, and have faced many fears.

The rhythm went something like this:

One year together,
Half a year apart,
Another half together, then again, we're left searching for another start.

And many other things happened between each kiss of bliss.

We even buried our love through hate
And yet somehow continued to find our way back to each other through fate.

We've been good
We've been bad
I'm just wondering if I'm supposed to be the one who makes you eternally glad

I've told you of the emptiness
And my confusion of what I feel
I've never liked our bad times
But in our good times, I've felt our love was truly real

Some days I want to move on,
Other days I wonder if you've truly walked on.

You said you simply couldn't commit,
But do you know if you won't regret it?

So many goodbyes,
So many reunions,
So many arguments,
So many makeups,
So many smiles,
So many tears,

We are the essence of emotions, devotions, and confusions
Through each others' hearts we're constantly making intrusions.

At least this time I haven't turned my back on you like you've committed a crime.
Instead, I find myself writing you this silly little rhyme.

So many thoughts racing
I've seemingly lost my pacing

You know I love you
And I still believe you love me too
I'll always be there for you
And honestly, I don't feel we have to be "together" for me to still miss you, care for you, love you, and want you.

Fate has taken its course
And will continue to do so
I will forever be by your side
As days come and go
And will at least always be your friend, and never a foe.

And so my thoughts have rushed out in a hurry,
But I feel as if my points have gotten a little too blurry.

I am who I am
You are who you are
We will be who we will be
Whether we are near or far.

I love you, and that probably won't ever change
It's simply a case that all of the possible titles need to be arranged.

And so,
It will be left for time
You live your life,
I'll live mine.
Our lives will probably always be forever intertwined.
And no matter what role, I know side-by-side is how we'll end aligned.
