my ring

How is it after so long we still don't really know each other?
I wear a ring you gave me. I wore it religiously at first. For I don't know how many years and months I wore it every day.
Then for four months I left it in my little jewelry box, although it's more like an oval, but I left that silver ring in the box you gave me. I took it out once in a while to look at it, contemplate it, what it meant.
It left a ring tan on my finger, or just a white, empty space. And sometimes I'd look down at my hand and be reminded of that ring and of you. But the tan eventually faded and I tried to make myself forget.
When I saw you again I resisted but the ring found its way back on my finger and I'm not sure how it happened.
It's been so long but we have so much more to learn about each other, from each other. I want to but sometimes my head gets in the way. And the questions start swirling around my heart and I don't know what to do.
Love is anything but simple. But I wish I could love you simply, purely. With or without a ring.
