Love Poem: How I Knew

How I Knew

There had always been a clue 
to what you could do 
that nagging voice that said it all 
"If you love you will fall" 
I should have listened and I should have ran 
but my heart would always do what a heart only can 
To love you was all I wanted 
even though Truth toyed and taunted 
"If you love you will fall" 
but to lose was better than not to love at all 
the good times were far and few 
the blame was not to be put on you 
Life has its funny way 
of ruining even the most perfect day 
Because I could never stay with you for long 
Love should stay written in song 
Too much of something good can not last 
so our love together had to stay in the past 
though my heart still bleeds on 
your heart had already came and gone 
I cried over you and forever more 
the voice knew what was in store. 
All those times I saw you with him in view 
That was how I always knew
