Came up to your doorway, you met me with a winning smile,
My heart melted as I stood, lost in your guileless eyes,
Refreshing as a cool breeze, encountered on a humid day,
You made me feel so welcome, in your inimitable way.
The feelings that had held me, woke in my heart anew,
Realized it for the millionth time, I was in love with you.
You were busy, so was I, our pressures drew us part,
But even as the distance grew, felt safe within your heart.
Your warmth reached out towards me, as only you can do,
You gave me all the proof I sought, that your love was true,
And then when I so pure of heart, who you did sorely miss,
Gestured you come closer, and seal it with a simple kiss.
And that is when my bubble burst, the hea'ens round did fall,
I couldn't understand why you would not respond my call,
I looked at you, confused, distraught, a hurt look on my face,
I tried to understand it, but gazed into empty space.
Yet you just looked upon me, your smile it didn't change,
And the same smile that won my heart, just added to the pain.
What's in a kiss, I asked myself, just the icing on the cake,
A kiss, a kiss is just a kiss, a kiss for kisses sake.
But in my heart of hearts I knew, t'was the sealing of the bond,
The final indication that your love for me was strong,
Too strong to fall to pressures, from the bitter world above,
No others could dissolve it, this thing that we called love.
I turned away, looked at my feet, your eyes I did avoid,
Just turned away, and walked away, left with a filling void,
I left to face the world once more, this time a weaker man,
You'd torn me down and hurt me, as only you can,
I knew you had your reasons, good ones, that I knew,
And the irrational fire burnt, and scorched my love for you.
As I walked on, down lonely road, the first pangs of remorse,
I felt that you'd have kissed me, if your own hand weren't forced.
I'd walked up that road so drunk with love, walked down a sobered man,
You'd left me with a lesson, as only you can,
We expect too much from those we love, a selfish thing to do,
If you want to make me happy, the wish should come from you.
