Love Poem: Square Peg Round Hole

Square Peg Round Hole

I'm a Lemon-Drop Vodka Martini 
You are refreshing healthy Green Tea
You are cautious, resistant, frisky
I am feisty, playful, risky

I am rough country, loud voices  
You are smooth jazz, soft noises
You are a sitting, talking sweet lyric
I am a standing, dancing free spirit

I blossom in excessive stimulation
You desire quiet contemplation
I crave social places where I can be free
You crave something more low-key

We don’t get each others personality
We merely accept the others reality
Defensive, marching to our own tunes
We release the past, mending wounds

Where I am happy, you get dizzy
Where you are happy I get uneasy
Let go the idea we were meant to be
Accepting fate, ending fantasy

You were the key, I was the lock
It did not fit, you had to knock
Square peg, round hole
Even writing took its toll

Lesson learned in less than a season
Knowing we met for a good reason 
Hearts were healed, growth was gained
Glad our friendship still remained
