At the bottom of the cup
the tea leaves swirl
As I lift up to drink
Some days
Are harder
I keep searching for you
In places we never meet
Absentmindedly
The heart is foolish
Yearning for things
It cannot have
The mind even more so
Rationalizing
The heart’s every desire
I should compromise
Be rational
Practical
Less stubborn and pigheaded
Somewhere though
I know, instinctively,
It will never be enough
If you have loved with all your heart
You’ll know what I am talking about
