Is this a love story?
Where the hero is I?
Am I prepared to fight for you,
When it barely seems as though you try?
Maybe I'm crazy;
It's probably true.
Despite the disruption and denial
I'm in love with you.
It's a special kind of painful
When the love isn't shared.
Love is a decision
Totally separate from care.
I say that now, because earlier, even I forgot.
Love is not a disease
To be cured or caught.
Love is a decision.
So if decision, not bout,
I cannot cajole.
Volition required; no corral, nor plea
I must stand here, obviously, and hope to be seen.
