Other Side of Love

Ever since I loved you
I wished to be your only
wished to see your face every morning
wished to make known to the world of our love
wished to wake up everyday with you in my bed
wished to associate you with every bit of success
wished to love you and love you for ages
wished to appoint you queen 
to run the castle of my life
wished, wished, wished and
wished for everything good as it were you
thought I was supercilious for for having you
wished it were long
but then long is not forever
but then my wishes
yet to turn into a dark horse
for me to ride
you and I 
world apart
with infatuation
making me prudish
inchoate ideas in your mind
a dweeb you consider me
root of your decision
if its love, we are living a lie
