Favorite Quote:
"But words are things, and a small drop of ink
Falling like dew upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think."
Sir Aubrey De Vere


It really doesn’t matter,
Because you will never know.
Though why do we have feelings,
If we can never let them show?
But if I were to give in,
And these feelings were exposed,
Would it be better then simply letting go?

But I have been taught,
Through my few years of learning,
That feelings, like dreams, cause an intense feeling of yearning.
And if I so choose that these words remain unsaid,
How long shall my thoughts remain uncorrupted?

For the potency of I love you
Has been acknowledged for some time.
It causes musicians to sing, and poets to rhyme.
Can you tell the difference between a line, the truth, and a lie?

But see
None of this really matters,
Because you shall never know.
For it is our sense of reason
That stops one from letting feelings show.
So if I am condemned to simply let you go,
The potency of I love you
We shall never know.
