“ROMANTIC” 12 Mar 04

I’ve conquered science.
I understand blackholes.
But some things elude me.
Some things I cannot decode.
I’ve conquered technology.
Planned my life from the start.
I couldn’t get you to stay.
I could not conquer your heart.

I was scared.
Had never known anything like this.
Can’t logic and process make sense of this.
I’ve always feared one day you might leave.
One day you’d forget to stay.
But you my love.
You don’t fit into my plan.

There are no theories.
No formulae I can use.
To try and understand you.
I’m confused.
And I miss you.
Baby I’m sorry.
For whatever I’ve done wrong.
Please forgive me.
Let me sing you a love song.

Life is never easy.
Life is always hard.
I made a design for life.
It was my trump card.
I had it all planned.
Then love came and changed it all.
I’m changed by love.
I’m abandoning the beauty of logic.
Discarded theory, and fallen for a romantic.
