Irrelevant Past

Must I really explain to you
The reason for my kind action
For I myself do not understand
Why I still feel this attraction

Every day and every night
Though she severed my heart
My strong feelings for her
Will never be torn apart

Some nice gestures I believe
Do not require such a reason
Its just a cemented fact
Like the changing of the season

Quick to call me a fool you do
Reconciling events past
Refueling prior sadness
A shadow over me you cast

I take that darkness however
And turn it into bright light
You will never understand
Why I still keep her in sight

I'm aware it is futile
A friend is all I can be
I know that there are plenty
Of fish in the vast sea

Yet you still ask me why
This one fish captivated me so
Even though having sunk
My boat oh so low

When will you realize
That the past is irrelevant
She is still good friend
A beautiful swan, so elegant

So stop questioning my behavior
For her I still do care
Even though she may not know it
I will always be there 

Author's Note

So yea, this is my first submitted writing here. What do you all think? It just sort of came to me this afternoon after something that took place this morning. I was getting pretty annoyed, so I just wrote out my thoughts and feelings in this quick poem. Please, feel free to review.

Ahh.. attraction on a few significant levels.. the feelings of others questioning your attraction to another? This was full of great rhythm, rhyme and flow.. and yes there are a few out there that can capture our beating hearts.. with their energy, contentment.. or whatever quality including beauty that we adore about them. You have the words of a true friend, unconditional here.. no love is greater.. really loved this message conveyed! Beautiful tribute.. hope your friend knows and appreciates you!
