Perfect Scheme of Love
There's just no other way. It struck me,
while listening to another 'heart song',
why words paired with music are more important,
because
they attempt to perfectly express
how lovers hope to be understood
when
no action speaks louder than
experienced hands on nylon strings
perfectly playing
sounds no voice could duplicate;
but,
with those fumbling, crafted words
and the proper inflection
and sweetest pitch,
you could draw her eyes wide,
open all avenues to the one garden
you dream explore
and be lonely nevermore.

Isn't that the fairytale ending
we sentimentally dream?
to freeze on the perfect scene, the ending,
the beginning of a beautiful story?
yet,
how to sustain but play that song
again and again?
And what do we risk?
our expression, our moment on the street
with a boombox raised high becomes cliché,
and we must top the last,
do it again and hope
that she still loves us?
if she can't remember our true aim is
that perfect scheme to win her heart,
own her soul for an eternity plus?

because,
there's just no other way.
