Analysis of Feelings
How unprepared I am to have these feelings
Feelings I must survive for a time concealing
By several years you are my elder
Can I longingly await my love my shelter
Finally not high, but grounded ashore
Life is a cyclone of emotion, far from a bore
Without you in my life, living has been a chore
Is there a perfect part of you to fill up my core?
