Paradox Of Life

Forever or Fleeting

Why can't I hold you, love, for all the world to see?
Why cloak our bond in shadows, as if it shouldn't be?
I yearn to claim you boldly, to declare that you are mine,
Yet you paint a tale of apartness, like stars that never align.

Why veil our love's vibrant colors, like gems within a chest?
When I ache to bask in your light, to lay your heart to rest.
Why shroud our union in secrecy, hidden behind a mask,
When I long to stand by your side, free from the questions we ask?

Is your love true and unwavering, a river deep and strong?
Or are we just fleeting whispers, a melody in a song?
These questions haunt my thoughts, casting shadows on our embrace,
As I question if our love is real, or a dream's ephemeral grace.

I'm curious about our journey, the path we're meant to tread,
Is this a tapestry woven in gold, or a mirage soon to be shred?
I yearn for clarity and assurance, to grasp our rightful place,
To hold your hand in the open, to feel your love's warm embrace.

Let's paint a canvas of unity, with strokes of love and trust,
No more hiding, no more veiling, just love in its pure thrust.
I need to know you're all in, that our love's worth every trial,
Or if we're lost in the dark, a brief flicker in life's aisle.

So tell me, my dear, what's our destiny from here?
Are we eternally entwined, or is there room for doubt and fear?
With my heart open, I await your voice, your response to my plea,
To know if we're fleeting dreams or a love meant to forever be.
