I don't know if I love her. <br />She is absent and unaware. <br />I have partially opened my heart. <br />Do I love something not even there? <br /> <br />I know that I love her. <br />She is present but unaware. <br />A keyhole divides where my heart is concerned. <br />I am in love and the world looks fair. <br /> <br />I know that I love her. <br />She is present and is somewhat aware. <br />Chances are my luck will turn better. <br />Does she know that I am someone who cares? <br /> <br />I know that I love her. <br />She is aware but makes no move. <br />Is my love creaking softly that she is unmindful? <br />Are there truths that I still have yet to prove? <br /> <br />I question myself if I still love her. <br />She remains heedless of what she knows. <br />I am knocking at the other side of a bolted door. <br />I will walk the path where only time flows. <br /> <br />My heart now knows what my brain knew first. <br />She is now gone and free from a passing rumor. <br />I still stand upon where I was to give my heart. <br />If only she had turned that second knob better.<br /><br />Chad Martin Natividad<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stages-of-love/
