honest girl

yes i am capable of writing love poetry
not all of my poems have to end in sorrow
that's just the way my relationships
happen to end
it's not like i wanted to end up
so bitter
and so afraid of falling
for the last time it's not you
you should have entered my life
a few years ago
when love was still all brand new
and my pen was still full of ink
and i still had thousands of pieces of paper
for korny love poems
i would have loved you then
i would have fallen head'ova'heals in love with you
and every poem that i would have writtten from that point on
and to this point
would have been based on you
and maybe your smile
im just asking that you wait for me
i know that they should have nothing to do with you
that was them this is you
but in a way they have everything to do with you
so please
just give me the time
i need
to gather enough courage
for another fall

and im not a complete cynic yet,
i still wake up
every morning
hoping to find an honest girl
like you
