I felt the calm in the chaos,
when you took my hand and held it with yours.
I applauded when reason lost the battle,
and all I could do was surrender and accept
that I was falling, yet one heart only fits for another.

I saw perdition and heaven,
when I learned to define love from lust,
when I learned to gently tie strings,
so as to keep you around, even for the little things,
and eventually loosening them up,
so as to keep you around and not bleed.

I ventured love & misadventure;
maybe this could be another chapter,
perhaps a better one or a worse one.
Love & Uncertainty are a tough mix,
one not worth dueling with for a weak heart.

You stood by me, my mess, my chaos
even for the mediocre I am;
I apologize for loving you
and learning to unlove you,
Fate is esoteric and mischievous,
maybe I could love you from afar.

But for once we are parallel lines,
yet to intersect and to never meet again.
