A Novice's Journey

In solitude's embrace, thoughts entwined,

A room echoes with musings, undefined.

Her presence lingers, a bloom in the air,

A question whispers, will she ever care?

Her ex, a specter, haunts my mind,

Standards raised, love redefined.

A simple girl, once made to feel,

Yet love eluded, a wound to heal.

I, a novice in love's grand ballet,

Fearful steps in an unfamiliar sway.

Can I ascend to her lofty grace,

Matching standards, finding love's embrace?

But time, the silent storyteller wise,

Unfurls a tale, where hope never dies.

As moments pass, a calming sign,

Assurance whispers, "Everything will be fine."

Love's mystery, a riddle to decipher,

In her, the answer, a love so hyper.

As the heart learns, the truth to uncover,

Love, a painting, in her colors to hover.
