180° of Understanding


I want to love you
But I don't know how.
You must understand
That up until now
I've never desired
Anything more from a person
Than simple friendship
And stringless conversing.

I thought I understood 
What love could've meant
But how to be sure
Unless I'd already felt
What everyone talks about
But few truly know
And so I've decided
To give it a go.

And it's so funny
Cause now it turns out,
I grasp even less
Of what this business is all about.
In the 20/20 vision
That comes with hindsight,
Quite a few issues 
Are coming to light.

I've confused emotions and feelings
Like passion, pleasure and even guilt
Along with motives and desires
That were entirely selfish
For this thing we pursue
As the greatest of gifts.
And it's clear that this journey
Is far from its finish.
