To a Girl in My Life

Though love is what you must persist,
it isn't all you've got.
Day in day out what you insist
is what you've already caught.
Try not to be a pessimist,
or a lesson will be taught.

You've got him in a stronger hold
than anyone perceived.
Remember not to be too bold,
or soon your heart will bleed.
This story here is to be told
cause you're in dire need.

Relax and take your time with it.
You see him more and more.
Annoy is what you do a bit,
just making others sore.
For now I ask you use your wit
and avoid breaking a core.

Many times have I seen where
loves just fall apart.
They had too much time to share
and too much in the heart.
For each other their soul to bare
would pierce them like a dart.

Some short times away from you
could only do some good.
Differences between the two
could be misunderstood.
Maybe if you only knew
the strain that he has stood.

My sorrow is for myself and time,
how short a line between.
Moving both in single rhyme,
Though kind, both can be mean.
Like the silence of a mime,
Neither heard nor seen.

Right now my wish is to remember
the fun between we three,
and as a single lonely member
lying beneath this tree,
I hope for every coming December
for us to always agree.

Although my heart is not to sell
with you two it'll stay,
cause what we do and what we tell
matches what I pray.
Now I bid ye two farewell
and go my separate way.

I not to bother or to fret,
decide your destiny--
I could always wager bet
on what it ends to be.
Have you made decisions yet,
or will you wait and see?
