Mystery V.S Obsession (Do We Know Everything?) Poem by Dianna Nally

How many times have you met someone
and thought you knew all about them?
You swear you know them inside and out,
then you discover the truth and
Become aware you have no real knowledge
of them

We want to believe we can trust those we
devote our life's to.
Then you think about that old wives tale that
Say's ' Love is blind.' and it's true.

I don't believe that it's possible to know
everything about anyone.
And I feel this way because people change
And so does their life and time goes on.

Acceptance and unconditional love are the
only ways real love can work.
But it's not real love if you aren't happy
with who you are, or if you listen
to others gossipy dirt.

Suspense is one of the things that attracts us
to others.
And the mystery that captures our attention.
And if the mystery is prolonged too much,
Then in time it can become an obsession.

It's important to know as much as you can
about those you choose to spend your life with.
And always be extremely selective with who you decide to live.

(And don't mix obsession with mystery
