When your dreamscapes turn to deserts-
And your heart becomes a stone…
And you sadly find complacency,
In dwelling all alone-

When the very thought of romance-
Makes you heave a heavy sigh-
And you find that you are longing-
For a time and place to die…

You struggle with confusion-
Knowing neither “why?”, nor “what?”
Then the heart answers your questions-
With the mocking words, “Why not?”

Please don’t think like that, darling.  There is also fixing the twist in the road of the romance, especially if she loves you very much, which she does and wants to fix it more than anything.
