Simple


I am simplicity itself.



My eye is caught by the sweets

and not the grands.

I'd rather the simple expressions of emotion

to many a pompous declaration.



Originality is not priority to me.

I'd rather heartfelt cliche to

mind-blowing expressions that leave you speechless.

I'm okay with a plain 'I love you'.



But then again,

originality comes naturally.

Why should I discard the intricate,if heartfelt?

Why should I resist talent.....your talent.



No,I'm simple,I agree but

I'm flexible too.

I appreciate you as you are:

with all your pomp and passion.

I admire your spontaneous declarations.



But don't ask me to be you.



I may have only one way

to say I love you.

But my heart beats the same way yours does when
you elaborately express your infinite and undying love.
So,please honey,if you love me,
let it be for me.



Just because somebody doesn't love you the way you want them to,it doesn't mean they don't love you with all they've got.
