artsyhonkerI would traverse mountains for you,
cross countries and continents
to start a new life at your side;
But you're nearby.
I could keep watch outside a castle,
raise armies to defend you,
vanquish every earthly foe.
But you live in an ordinary terraced house. It doesn't even have a moat. And you don't make enemies easily.
I long to capture the tears of the unicorn's cousin
and mix them, according to ancient recipes, into an elixir
tasting of lilacs and gin
that cures all ills, heals all pains
and present it to you.
But you'd only blush at the fuss and find someone who needed it more.
So I try to be sensible, and follow the world's rules in showing my clumsy affection.
I hope you understand.

Also: I should drink more coffee. Or maybe less.
