Over and Over
I look upon you with such love
Know my love is strong, strong enough for two
My eyes are so full of you, my heart so open
I long to show you and tell of such love
But you don’t see, still blinded and closed off
Your words are harsh, provoking to the core
What to do? Provoke is what you do!
I reach out; wanting you to see, but you close us in
You see and hear, but not from within, and I try again to understand
Over and over that’s where we’re at
No space forward but two steps back
When will you learn, find your way out?
Come to me and I will help
I will be there, standing by your side
Just where I've been all this time
You don’t see it, eyes cast down…
Just look up, standing tall, here I am.
Know my love is strong, strong enough for two
My eyes are so full of you, my heart so open
I long to show you and tell of such love
But you don’t see, still blinded and closed off
Your words are harsh, provoking to the core
What to do? Provoke is what you do!
I reach out; wanting you to see, but you close us in
You see and hear, but not from within, and I try again to understand
Over and over that’s where we’re at
No space forward but two steps back
When will you learn, find your way out?
Come to me and I will help
I will be there, standing by your side
Just where I've been all this time
You don’t see it, eyes cast down…
Just look up, standing tall, here I am.

Nice poem
If someone else comes along who is awake and open (in a place to receive and give Love) don't hesitate to keep your lovely heart open to a different possibility.
I wonder, as you look upon your muse with such LOVE, if it will be by that very gaze of LOVE that he will eventually open... not necessarily to you, but eventually to himself and accordingly to someone else.
Although that may feel like a huge sting at first, in the end, if this turns out to be the case, you will have given him the greatest gift LOVE can afford, IMO.
Good luck, either way!
