He loves me... He loves me not...

Love starts as a wishful prayer, an insignificant seed.

A tiny fire,

A playful giggle,

A rosy blush,

A risky wink,

Or a kindly smile.

*

He loves me... He loves me not...

Friendship buds.

A tender understanding,

A growing warmth,

A gently trust.

*

He loves me... He loves me not...

The bud opens it's first petals to a pair of

Sparkling eyes

Which twinkle with a new

Passion.

A passion that overcomes all sense

Until finally

A risky chance is

Taken.

*

He loves me... He loves me not...

The rose opens into a

Beautiful, ruby blossom.

Everything else in the world becomes

Lost in a crazy, wild nonsense

A happy oblivion of exhilaration

Complete and total

Joy.

*

A sweet, innocent kiss

In the moonlight

Seals the mutual promises

Of never-ending fidelity.

Cherish.

Honor.

Protect.

Forever... Or until.

*

The blossom wilts,

And the petals fade,

And the promises break,

But the memories

Of sunlight and blue sky

Remain fragrant

Preserved in the petals

Of sachets

Stuffed in the back of your sock drawer

And your heart.
