the sting of love

when did my heart become so insecure?

things that i may have never seen
suddenly became impossible to ignore

i may have only seen it as friendship before
but now when they talk, my heart becomes jealous

i've been reassured time and time
and i know that friendship is all it is

but when i hear that laughter
-my favourite sound in the world
and see the smiles they exchange

all i feel is the sting of love

romance and justice

if i can't see where my life is going
how can i expect to take someone along with me

longing to spend my life with someone i love
to discover ourselves, each other, and the world
i have been blinded by romance

is it fair to drag someone with me
on a path where i can see no further than my own hand?

now justice has cut my blindfold
i don't want an insecure life for the one i love,
so for now my heart must be empty

the first of many

live, laugh and love;
the motto of an ever-changing nineteen year old prince
here i am, an open book for you to read and hopefully,

fall in love with
