Matters of the Heart

One can never quite predict,
In matters of the heart,
At what point one should full commit,
When does the loving start?

If you lay it out too soon,
You run an awful risk,
Of singing love's unhappy tune,
A sad and aching twist.

But then, if you drag your feet,
There is an outside chance,
That you'll lose your love so sweet,
And miss out on romance.

I've heard it said that timing is,
Nine tenths of ev'rything.
But what time's right, this I quiz,
When should the lovebird sing?

Guess the thing is just to know,
Your partner down so deep,
Wait for certain signs to show,
Til then your heart just keep.

I think your last stanza says it all free...

if we deeply know ourself, and our partner, and s/he takes the time to do the same, all else will fall into place; the signs will be crystal clear because the knowing will be mutual.

Ty for sharing your thoughts on the subject flower

Unfortunatelly between lowers it is always one who doesn't know what the other thinks...It is the one who loves.

But this is the rule..of love, mistery..that's why we love it so much...and fight to winn it heart beating
After all, deep inside, we like this game.wine
