It Was So

it was so wonderful
in the beginning
but now i merely
find myself perplexed

i have been puzzled before
but never from here
so many riddles
so many puzzles

i thought i knew
but i knew nothing
at all
how often will that happen?

everytime i think i got it
i don't
everytime i think i know
i don't

why
i can only wonder
a mystery unto me
yet one i liked

i've known you almost
two months
i've know you almost
forever

yet i don't know you
at all
we've talked everyday
yet never

i will not force
fate's hand
i will not force
fate's hand

what's meant to be
is meant to be
and what isn't
isn't

the point of wisdom comes
in being able to
distinguish
between the two

and i cannot
my knowledge is
by nature
incomplete

it was so
is that so?
wonderful
the light in our eyes

but you predicted it
you forsaw a long time ago
that things just
might not work out

of course
they still might
predictions might be wrong
and who trusts the writings in the stars?

too serious
too fast
too far
so soon

affection
uncomfortable
yet attraction
undeniable

hormones
pheromones
feelings
intangibles

no flowers
no chocolate
no poems or serenades
nothing typical
