I'll never get used to the way you make me feel
Laughing one minute and crying the next
It's almost as if you had planned this
These sensations you cast upon me
Doubt and confidence all drawn in the same conclusion
About how we're supposedly meant for each other
And maybe even in love
But from where I'm standing you're all I've ever dreamed of having
And at the same time, all I'm really scared to lose
You're nothing more than my current test subject
I've studied your kind but have yet to find a man like you
Your intentions seem so spontaneous it makes no sense to me
How you claim to go with everything but whenever I go along
I'm always doing something wrong
I don't ask for much because I've learned you don't have much to give
And I would never take your everything
I've no use for unordinary accomplishments that mean nothing to society
Nor reasons about why we're supposedly meant for each other
Or maybe even in love

SlowlyFallAway - you've said it all with this writing. I'm impressed with these words and how they read across the page...

You speak so much truth about the twist and turns we spin ourselves into in relationships!  Good capture. ebm

I have been in a relationship like this and I still haven't found the common ground nor a pure answer. You wrote the poem well.
