Dear "My Dear",

I was filled with mixed emotions and I wanted an avenue to portray them out. :)

First, I didn't take notice...
that you were as sweet as pie.

Then, there was your contagious smile...
it made me envious.

I was fond of your childlike nature...
I was fond of you.

You are always surrounded by our peers...
that made me jealous.

I abhorred being skeptical...
I abhorred this. 

I am being juvenile...
I am blind.

I still didn't know...
was it love, lust or admiration.

So, I summed up the courage...
asked you about yourself.

It was futile...
because that didn't elicit the response I was craving for.

The response was something different...
It was truthful, but with a sting in the tail.

It was still vague.

I wasn't up for that...
but the truth was that there was nothing you could have done, there was nothing you could have said to sweeten pepper.

I now know, love, or the lack of, teaches me more...
more than tutors, philosophers or my parents are able to.

With every shadow of darkness...
you unknowingly paint me a picture of grace.

With the picture you painted,
I felt blessed.

Blissful and smiling.
I hope the smile becomes contagious,
and one day, be it conscious or unconscious,
help people understand love better.

With everything, I am still in a daze, could it be love?
The answer, tied to a balloon, is hovering above the vast and endless sea.

In a kayak, I hope to find the answer.
Be it sooner or later, I will row with all my might.

Author's Note

I really hope you enjoy this. I veered off in the middle of it, i wanted to keep that part because that was how i was feeling. :)

oh my.... this was another very beautiful poem! I think your heart is beautiful also for writing this. I especially like these lines- "With everything, I am still in a daze, could it be love?
The answer, tied to a balloon, is hovering above the vast and endless sea.
In a kayak, I hope to find the answer.
Be it sooner or later, I will row with all my might."
I hope you keep writing, and thanks for this! :D

You have truly created that feeling of tension that can come with new love; the excitement and joy, as well as the jealousness and wondering. Wonderful write of contrasts!

This was the part I liked most in your poem :) Besides that, the rest of it was was kinda boring. Honestly.

Because... there was neither rhythm nor rhyme D:
