Where the Heart Won't Go

I tried to say I love you
But the lips won’t speak
What the heart does not feel
Although there are few
Whose company I enjoy
As much as I do yours
Who knows why the heart
Chooses who it chooses
Even if I ask it to love you
It is truly a heart
With a mind of its own
And the heart won’t feel
What the mind won’t say is real
Can we instead share closeness-
Knowing that friendship
Is the better part of love?

Maybe that's the problem though, that friendship and love, hate, love-hate often don't sit that easily together? I like the way you don't use punctuation here and so one has to look/p back when one realises that one has run a line on too long or too short in syntaxing the sentences. Clever technique. creates a kind of counterpoint in a way.

Or maybe I was too lazy to punctuate that day? Just one of what I call my steam of consciousness things, things just run on, on their own. Thanks for reading and the comment. Appreciate it.LGM
