Driven to distraction
So many quirky ways
Steadfast in his routine
Set in his ways
Borderline obsessive
In the task at hand
Single minded
Persistent
Never defeated
Striving for perfection
In all that he does
High expectations
Failure not an option
Leaving nothing to chance
Nor circumstance
Carefully calculating
His destiny not dependent
On the wheel of fortune
Or roll of the dice
Pipe dreams
Castles in the air
Are not his forte
Fact not fiction
The rules he abides by
Fastidiously weighing up
Pro's and con's
Meticulously judging
Is she the one
With the qualities
To truly make me happy?
Cautiously he ardently
Studies her intently
Until he's sure
She is undoubtedly worthy
Ideas formed
Idealistic illusions
Realisation of facts received
Restore his faith
In all he previously doubted
It finally dawns
She is " the one "
Exhilarated and reassured
His doubts are now diverted
Faith restored
Invigorated
Nothing to deter him
Trust once lost
Within reach again
His soul
Touched upon it
Recognition
Of her pure heart
Silently
Has calmed him
No longer scared
To go with the flow
Vulnerability
Now deserts him
Wholeheartedly
He gives his all
Comforted and engulfed
By the love she gives him
He now can see
Unconditionally
An unbreakable bond
Surrounds him
All negative thoughts
Unrequited love
Firmly put behind him
He can now let go
Of all past pain
Sensing only joy
Only happiness
Before him
Ready now
To roll the dice
Take a chance
On life
Confident he has now backed a winner!

WOW! you fooled me, though you didn't mean to do it. i am more 'into' humor (usually) , and i was waiting to find her rejecting HIM once he finally made up his mind that she was 'the one'. but i guess she accepted him. yes, the topic love does indeed fit. it is a fine poem and goes immediately, if not sooner, to MyPoemList. bri ;)
