New Love's True Merit

(in ballade form)

Now that crazy random dice have been thrown
I guess it's time to get to know you more
But your being's truth, for now, is still unknown
So my assumptions onto you I'll pour
Confabulations make up your life's lore
To keep from crossing this wide boundary
False images of you I will adore
Until I think I know who you might be

Comes a point you think the light has been shown
When you've dug until you can't dig anymore
All your loved ones sides you think you have known
But there's still caves you have yet to explore
These paths you've sidestepped you can not ignore
It's then that you know what you could not see
On walls between I never put a door
Until I think I know who they might be

My new love's true merit should be his own
In the past I always thought it a chore
To get to know them right down to the bone
Now I want to build an honest rapport
And really get to know them at the core
Expectations get tossed out into sea
I'll calmly wait for surprises galore
Until I think I know who he might be

Not knowing truth was my mistake before
Living on these pedestals made them flee
Now your hidden caverns I want to tour
Until I think I know who you might be
