I wish I didn’t love you so. <br /> <br />I am the stream complaining as I go, <br />And you the slope that makes me flow. <br /> <br />I am the sea under troubled skies, <br />And you the moon that makes me rise. <br /> <br />I am the moth with fluttering flight, <br />And you the candle’s gentle light. <br /> <br />I the arrow, you the bow: <br />I’ll wait forever, ‘till let go. <br /> <br />I wish I didn’t love you so.<br /><br />Dennis Lambert<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-man-s-complaint-i-wish-i-didn-t-love-you-so/
