Trivial love

One in a million,

That is what you are

And to prove it to you

I'll paint you a star

Then carve out my heart

And seal it in a jar

Then send it to someplace thats awfully far

 

One in one thousand

That is what you shall be

And to prove, beyond a doubt, that you mean this to me

I shall travel the imaginary

Sail each stormy sea

Then upon bended knee

Pledge my love to thee

 

And then one day,

The love will be real

Lost in each other

I'll tell you how I feel

Bare skin will follow

Long lives will lay ahead

Not a day to be wasted

Until the day we are dead

I know the urge to trivialize love as something that I can get all the time. It is psychological self-defense when you love somebody but he /she does not love back or when relationships are crumbling. You are but one in a million I will tell myself and then I will try to not feel what I really feel, sealing my love, not answering the phone to show my other self that I don't love her when I do.

Why trivial? Maybe this is a spoof poem on romantic love, with its over-the-top aspirations? I was tickled by the lines, 'I'll tell you how I feel/ Bare skin wil follow' LOL Even in such fancies, one thing leads to another...
