sure i will love you
just give me a minute
my life has a plan
i'll pencil you in it

i swept her off her feet
i was told it was the thing to do
she broke her leg in three places
i broke my heart in two

i realised then i need the metaphor
keeps me warm at night
need the fuzzy unreality
steers the rudder right

...sometimes I too feel like poetry is the real love, from the perspective that it fulfills a need in us which human relationships may not. I loved this:

"i swept her off her feet
i was told it was the thing to do
she broke her leg in three places
i broke my heart in two"

i really liked this. its very good. it expresses something we are both quite familiar with so well. just what i needed to read this evening. its gentle too. not harsh. i like it very much, very much indeed.
