Ego vs. Love

Remembering to follow my heart

that's a hard pill to swallow

Logic reigns,

and my mind wants to gain

It's causing me so much pain

how do I get past this?

Logic says, "Let go!"

But my heart keeps telling me to let it show.

My love is keeping me here

but it's causing so much strain

It hurts, my love

So much confusion and pain

It's like the floor has fallen from beneath me

and I'm suspended from our connection

It's only enough when we are in this space together,

close enough where I can feel your touch

I need to feel your touch . . .

it helps me remember, and it dims the interference from others

I just want this relationship to extend past this pain

Love is yet a drop in relation to the ocean of chaos that's been created

That drop is all I need to heal my heart

But is it selfish of me to want you regardless

I feel like it's fated for us

But I'm afraid, my love

I don't want to lose

I guess my ego would choose to let you go

so that I can contain my feelings

But my heart wants to sustain us

As the days pass by

I wonder . . .

What will I do?

Because,

I really want it to be you.
