Explinations

I'm not sure how to explain

Explaining something

By shrugging it off

And acknowledging

That I say 'it' so often

and to so many

that I'm more than used

To never having 'it'

returned.



All and all, that is an

Explanation.

But, how true it is,

I can't really say

myself. We're all so much

better at lying

to ourselves,

And much better at

lying to others

About things turned

inconsequential

That mean more than

moons, or stars.



And, it just feels good

To hear 'it'.

More so

When you're not expecting

And waiting for

Explanations

For why not.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

In a typically female way (oh, one has to love stereotypes) I've said that I feel fine about telling someone I love them and not getting the ball returned (all completely while not meaning a damn word of it).

hello there... as you said in your critique, you were talking about saying "I love you" in an ultra-feminine way... too bad i'm not a guy, because that's not what i got the first time i read it.... i can't say what exactly it was that i thought when reading it, but i did like the overall feel of the poem... and after reading your critiques, i understand now. ^_^
I like the poem a lot, keeping posting, and feel free to check my site sometime too. ^_^
