An Enigma – Answered?

I would if she could but she can't so I won't
Though my motto has been, "Don't ever say don't."
So where are we then?  Is it "can't?"  Is it "could?"
I wish I knew where we really stood.

Such is life - a most confounding state,
Be it filled with strife, half-steeped in hate.
Or is life like a ship cruising a calm open sea,
Riding gently o'er the waves challenging gravity?

A sense of well-being, an urge to be free,
To sail with one who sets to sail with me.
On a journey of bliss lasting an eternity.
A lifetime of together days forever - in perpetuity.

The choice between choices is to me clear to glean,
The latter's as it should be - the former senseless and mean.
I know you now know how I feel 'bout you,
Do I trust, do I hope, your choice be similarly true?
