48 - It Was Love, Until I Saw You Naked

"Wise men say, only fools rush in."

But how can one be a fool when love is what we feel within

I only know I love you, all of you

As I embrace everything, without knowing if it's true

I'd unzipped the hem at the back of your dress

Now my brows furrowed as I started to feel some crack, it's a mess

There were scars, far from porcelain

I don't know what it was, but your scent lingers like a chain

I dipped my face towards the scent of your neck

I saw you gulping, holding it, covering as it would wreck

But I slowly keep your hands away from it, I have to take a peek

But it was far from what I saw before, your neck have a grip of chains, I forgot what I truly seek

I stared at you in confusion, then even got more confused

As I pulled on the night dress, it feels like I'm in a battle and I lose

I thought it was perfect curves, but what do I see here?

Some uneven distributed straight lines, it will never be clear

Your mountains of milestones are not as beautiful as I've to imagine

Your aching back is not as royal as what I've seen

Your legs as I saw them parted, were never flawless but marks

And your face is something that would never give me sparks!

Oh, am I living in the illusion? Are you just living in my imagination?

Am I only in love with my idea of you?

And it was never loved that I felt, nor a penchant, now all rue

For you're not true, in the depiction of my mind, it's not you

You're not the love of my life

Not the one that I picture in my aperture

Who are you? Who sent you? I should raise the flag of red!

For it was love until I saw you naked
