Come one, come all!
This is the show,
All the people gathered here,
Yet no one seems to know
what the purpose of my love is,
How I think she glows,
They laugh at me see and say I'll be hurt,
That all the days after her will be a deadly curse,
And I look them in the eye and say, "You don't think I know?"
The pain might kill me, but not loving her is worse than I could ever show,
What comes next, I can't say,
But paranoia comes at a price I can't pay,
I know it's possible that she won't stay,
But for now everything's okay,
I will live and love for today,
I don't know where the road may lead,
I don't know whom she may love then or whom she may see,
But for today, I'm moving at full speed,
I'm not going to waist time thinking of future pains,
So if you want, you can come catch me and her hopping trains,
Cause I can only look at the gain,
No matter what you say,
I want to be her swain,
I am not her first,
She has had more before me,
One said that she loved him and that our love could never be the same,
He wants to be with her,
He wants to lock me in a cage,
He says that she had to have felt something,
That she must not love me that way,
She is a magical sage,
I think our love is special in many ways,
But don't we all think ourselves Napoleons in this age?
I have to think of how she is with me today,
She says that she is less than perfect,
Is that right?
Please tell me how,
Can she not see?
She is the world to me!
I don't care what came before or what comes later,
I can't predict if she'll desert me or see me as a traitor,
The years will pass,
But I can't tell you how,
All I know is I love her now,

Very well penned, with a lot of feeling, and great structure. Really like the last three lines.
Danke, mein Herr.
Bitte schoen, gern geschehen!
Great expression of those risks we know we are taking when our hearts are so profoundly drawn to a person in whom we see risks. That wonderful state of being out of control and knowing it.... go with the flow and enjoy the ride... or walk safely away and spend your life regretting it (and you know you would).
Yes, exactly! And if I spent my time worrying about what has or could happen, I'd miss what is happening.
Thank you
