Stroll Gently

On new love

He came into my life with uncertainty

His and mine

And we grew together and bonded

And my heart separated and joined his

And it's wonderful and it's painful, the uncertainty.

I want us to be inseparable but separate

Separate lives but leading one

And my heart aches for the destruction we could cause

Too quickly he came into my life and too quickly he could leave

Let go, but don't run

Stroll gently in his life.

I like the haunting, romantic tone that this poem sets. I like how the narrator is longing for it's heart to be joined with the one this poem speaks of. Poetry used to be something I resented, but it is now one of the few joys that I find life has to offer. Keep writing poetry :)
