I found myself under a willow tree Waiting for my vision to appear And surely enough the message came But the message wasn’t very clear I don’t know what true love is like So when he comes how will I know? I’m familiar with the fairytale But I don’t know how the story goes I hope love isn’t anything like happiness I hope that its an actual feeling I hope he can reimburse me for my travels Because I didn’t come all this way for nothing He better not have a crooked smile I hope he doesn’t obsess over small things He better not be some simple minded jerk Who cant see the forest for the leaves What’s taking this prophecy so long Why isn’t this fool here already He better get over here fast Because me luggage is getting heavy I know you’re getting tired of my complaining I can tell by how you’re reading this thing Fortunately I found my sweetheart Lying dead under a willow tree.

I can really relate to this one too. I am getting extremely impatient about true love!

you are welcome. and stalking? that's a bit dramatic. more like i was viewing your work and from the way you wrote and "talked" i thought you were i guy, i just felt that way. and then when i read some of you work about love and how you said "he", that would mean you were a girl. and if you're not, then i guess you just like to write some of your poetry about relationships from the opposite sexes mindset. just my oppinion.

Interesting...........

so you are a girl. No offence, but i always thought you were a guy for some reason, i'm not quite sure why.

i like the poem tho..but i can't decide if i liked the ending, to be honest. you deffinitely have talent though.
