A Case of Obligations

Just a poem I wrote that I hope many if not all can relate to...

All I can do
Is look at you
and wonder what your
love can promise me...

Satisfaction on both ends
Sweet thoughts in the middle
A bit of pain on the top
Uncertainty, just a little

We can listen to the rain together
Work our differences out
Make time to make things better
Discover what love's about

But I'm afraid of your love
Yet I want it all...
Mistakes are for people
but fate is a call

And I don't wish
to miss my chances
So I'll let my hope
take second glances

But one must wonder why a planet
is only round as a ball?
That maybe another shape
won't sustain it at all

Still, time is getting short
and my eyelids grow heavy
I no longer hesitate
Nor wonder if I'm ready

The grip of a sail
holding onto tight breeze
can easily let go
if the wind decides to leave

So tell me something darling...
Would we sleep every night,
and wake up to the promise
that things will stay alright?

You write so well, and I can definitley relate to this. Love is such a beautiful thing, and you certainly captured the beauty of it here.
