Isn't it baffling

What is she thinking of

Why is she sending me love

Isn't it amusing I have read every last book

But I can't help feeling there's something I still overlook

So I search the page for what's hidden from view

What does she mean by love

It's lost on me

I only wish I knew

I've read the works of Shakespeare

I can quote Lovelace and Gray

But maybe I don't understand what they're trying to say

So I search the page

Is there something I've missed

What does she mean by love

It's just a word but one that I resist

Childhood memories

Long ago feelings

All that's lost in the past

Love is not meant to last

Jerusha

Jerusha

What am I afraid of

It's just a line that she sent

Written in haste I can't bother to know what she meant

But I search the page for what words might reveal

What does she mean by love

And what does she intend to make me feel
