Haunted by an image, feelings intense
Head over heart, will never make sense
Allowing the soul, to massage a heart
Answers may hover, why two stay apart

Can love be defined, its pathway clear
With past commitments, into future peer
Controlling a journey, also real life
Aiming to help, which instigates strife

To walk our own path, decisions we make
Knowing each step, new journey can take
Along a detour, brings uncontrolled pain
Happiness forgotten, shed tears like rain

What makes us happy, in life gives a lift
Was it really our choice, or ultimate gift
Strength our friend, weakness brings regret
To ourselves truthful, not true love forget

These detours in life, cause one to stumble
Dreams of happiness together, takes a tumble
A few years later, will love's jigsaw fit
After cupids arrow, makes a passionate hit....
