Love is strange

This is your world.  The things that surround you are your family, friends and your home.  All these things you have taken and wrapped within a wall for security and peace of mind.  Is your world worth all the things that you are missing out on in the world beyond your wall?

I have spent three years stood patiently chipping at your wall and at times I’ve even tried to scale it but to no avail.  Today I find that I am tired and whilst lacking in energy I sit with my back resting on your wall and quietly I make a daisy chain.

Life would be simple if, when we were in love we turned a different colour.  I would be sitting shining bright and as striped as the rainbow.  I can’t see over the top of your wall to see what colour you are, its a shame.  You have said that you have feelings, but for all the days I have stood on the outside of your wall nothing has ever been thrown or even pushed over for me to be aware of them.

As for now I will sit making my daisy chain.  But please understand as I look around the daisies are running out and soon I will no longer be sitting on the other side of your wall.
