Watching a girl make eyes at me
brings the understanding
that I will always fall
in love too quickly.

The thought sends me hurtling
toward a future, where
I learn to love a stranger
as I love you now.

"make eyes at me"

I assume this means batting lashes/prettyface/etc?

i like this one more and more each time i re-read it - it smacks of so much truth about how i am :P

Understanding yourself is a great strength. It is what should stop you "hurtling." Spin softly, say I.

About 'knowing'.



About ourselves,
We are always wrong.

Surprised by the extent
Of our love, our kindness,
Our cruelty.

About each other,
We are always suspect.

A relationship;
Convenient misunderstanding.

sometimes we can revel in our faults - sometimes we use them to find the strength to move on

this is beautifully written. It paints a picture of emotion for me, and reminds me of myself...

Well, at least I'm not the only one.

I feel as though I've written this poem already, 100 times at least.
