Love Comes When You Least Expect It (My Sestina to my Liebe)

I had sworn not to love,

And boy was I wrong.

You came into my eyes,

And you pierced my heart.

You changed my life.

Never in my life had I experienced a love so pure and unfeigned.

My feelings for you are unfeigned,

Just like your love.

How can they think our age is wrong?

Age doesn't matter, as long as you have a beating heart.

You are the love of my life,

I can feel sincerity when I look into your eyes.

I remember when I had given up on love;

Then you came into my life.

You opened up my eyes,

And most importantly; my heart.

You proved me wrong

With your sweet love, that is till this day; unfeigned.

I came in with a serious attitude, I was wrong.

I made a promise to my heart,

To remain single all my life.

Deep inside, I knew my promise was not unfeigned.

They met each other, our eyes;

And we fell in love.

They say we probably won’t marry, but our love will prove them wrong.

You gave me your heart, and I gave you my heart.

That is our promise to them unfeigned.

You can tell I’m saying the truth, just look into my eyes.

Can’t they see this is real love?

How our souls are bound for life.

Something that can never die is our love.

It will be eternal and after life.

Our love is truly unfeigned.

When others try to flirt with me, I tell them you own my heart.

I tell myself, there’s nothing wrong,

With unveiling unto love, your eyes.
