Questions? Poem by Tim Romines

Questions?

When does a simple touch become a caress?
How does an innocent hug turn into an embrace?
When do basic feelings change and become complex?
Does this really happen or is it all just tricks?

When does your heart know its ok to feel love?
How long must you wait before trusting what you feel?
Do you trust your feeling or the powers above?
Is it a false feeling or is it real?

It is said that if you truly love, you can let it go
If it is yours to keep it will return.
When I let go am I the only ones who knows
While I wait, wonder and wish my emotions churn.

At what point do the feelings start?
Were they always there and just took time to surface?
Do you long for each other when you are apart?
Or are they just false feelings you are left to chase?

Follow your heart, follow your mind
The question left un-answered most of the time.
Is it or is it not love is not always so sublime
Leaving you mind confused and your heart in a bind.

If you are lucky enough to find the one love
Celebrate your happiness and cherish your time
Remember the good with the bad
Your history is made up of the good and the bad.
