The Game of Love

(Puppy Love)

I sense your presence somewhere out there,

A passion like yours can meet no end.

My secret lover

I wait for you here on the edge of sanity

Not truly understanding you but loving you just the same.

But do not judge by what you see.

I love you and you love me

Was there ever a time I faltered and you weren't there to guide me,

My passionate lover.

You and I are very different,

I from one age and you another.

This chasm separates us but that which separates pulls together.

As opposites attract, so do we.

Or so the saying goes.

But do not judge by what you see.

I love you and you love me.

I would cross a thousand years and a lifetime of suffering to be with you

Even though I would not admit it.

Often at night I find myself thinking of you and wondering.

Feh, what has come over me?

I am a pathetic demon.

But do not judge by what you see.

I love you and you love me.

The other that looks like you,

Both are not the same.

I sense compassion in one where there is not in the other.

She is cold where you are warm and forgiving.

So my life goes on over a millennium of stars and space.

I can no longer count the stars in the sky then stop thinking of you,

It is impossible.

But do not judge by what you see.

I love you and you love me.

After I find my path

I shall see your smiling face again.

And here your brave laughter in the face of danger.

Your name is whispered to the heavens and I fall asleep thinking,

Ever thinking.

But do not judge by what you see.

I love you and you love me.
