Love: A Collection of Stories

Strong Until You Don't Have To Be (Forever Instantly)

It's been ages

Since I've put pen to paper

But now I am here in a time of scarcity

In a need to assemble such complexity

A matter concerning love and heartbreak

Doesn't it always?

In the time I've been absent

New love I've fallen not yet out, but still in

I had never seen before

Then not once noticed him

But in his all-encompassing charismatic way

He helped me and held my arms

Love was a scary thing

A most horrid monster and demon

All good things surely again

Must, they will come to an end

And the line is you never know how strong you are until you have to be strong

Now was the time

I have to be independent, be strong

So I attempted to push and shove and throw him away

I tried to move my arms to where I, not he wanted them to be

My god it's not even been a day

His grip was firm

Swiftly, surely he had learned

Swiftly, surely forced himself into a lonely heart

Now which he is apart

For once logic and love coaligned

He might be worth keeping

If I could not buck him off so easily

It's been ages, so long since have I wanted someone

I truly want him as mine

Being this my resolution

And when determination comes to me

Frightfully stubborn

This I will achieve

But scared I believe drove him off the road

Well in his charismatic way

All-encompassing, only sometime to me he came

Simply put, I had nothing and everything else left to say

Can I tell you I want you to be forever the same?

Is it okay to bring you into my world of dreams?

To have you with me?

Dreams not so far from what could be

And yes, I will be sore and bitter if I don't get what I need

Heartbreak is worst when love is tangible

Because well we drove in your car

Oh hell you even requested I accompany

You rolled your window up, I kept mine down so I could feel the cold breeze

Had my hair flying about, to show you a side

Most people can't, don't, or refuse to see

I know you already talked to everyone in my life

And when we walk each other by

You don't pretend, you don't hide, you look at my face

I fell in love

In a flash

All those times and all the time I feel forever instantaneously

In a little over three weeks

Three weeks is a long time when it comes to other tasks

But three weeks is so small in love's rigid ticking, sometimes in your face love laughs

And the line is you never know how strong you are until you have to be

Now I don't have to be strong, but I don't know if strong is what I again can achieve because

If he should leave
