IV. “Enigma”

I don’t understand the racing heart

The nervousness and serenity perfectly blended

Or the paradox of time stood still, at a halt,

Yet still seeming to fly by at slip-stream velocity

And all this from simply peering into her eyes…

I don’t understand it, but I’ve felt it all before.

 

I don’t understand the pull to return to a place 

Existing in a sphere of mind,

The deconstructed dream space of my heart

Where our floor plans still lay

And try to make so that which was not in my control

Creating a paradox of ‘alternate reality’

While walking about subconsciously.

I don’t understand it, but I’ve done it all before.

 

I don’t understand why You would want to stay

Finding mere microfibers of hope to continue moving forward

You do more than just put up with me

The ‘paradox’ that is You recreating my reality

So I can see the things You see

And all simply because You love me. 

I don’t always understand the how, or the why

But I’ve received it all before.

 

I do not understand how this is supposed to work

The anomaly of falling in love

No, I don’t understand it and I haven’t come any closer

But then I wonder if that’s exactly the point…
