(sonnet # CCXXX)
You have some faults that seem to glare, and yet
Can get my heart. I don't know how, but I
Declare, it flits and starts for you. Deny
You care, I think me free; so where's the net
That snags my feet when you appear? Now let
Me be in love with someone else and try:
Of course it's diff'rent then. Alone, defy
My reason, win your case, with charm beset.
That silly smile is peeking 'round now near.
I'm kicking myself, wond'ring why I care.
I do. I don't. I do: You know, you're dear.
Once had, forever holding strings t'ensnare
Seems how love is. So what is happ'ning here?
I guess you just might have me, if you dare.

- Comment from author about the poem: It is an interesting feature of "love" that it seems to forever leave a mark, so that we never are quite free with former beaus. If time made way for Cupid's play, would he succeed? This is the third in a series of 7 sonnets on a romance that revived and then fizzled. I find it fascinating to watch the progress of interest from the first sonnet to the final, it all having been unintended.
