I wrote something for you, my dear,
confessions on a page
The words poured from my soul as if
floodgates were disengaged

I wrote and wrote but never read
what came out of my heart
But when I hit a thousand words
I figured I should start

I read what I had written down
from honesty and truth
And realized that though I’d grown up,
my heart was still in youth

My heart had said “I love this man”,
but how can that be true?
Three months of real relationship
is all we have gone through

I’ll put the “love” aside for now
unless it comes from you
‘Cause even if it isn’t “real”
at least you’ll feel it too

*Amber

Glad to see you found your inspiration.     A thousands words would kill me if it didn't convince me though.  Here's to longwinded youthful emotion.

Great wordplay and honest assessment of life and its various mountebanks and unreal situation where one gives and the other takes. You are so good at this kind of poetry.
