BECAUSE I'M IN LOVE

Who am I really?
Am I what I perceive?
How am I thought of
by people around me?
Why do I wonder?
Am I therefore concerned?
What do they realize
that I have not learned?

Am I the person I think
or the person I feel?
Which is more true to self
and which is illusion?
Could it be I am both
or must there be an answer?
May I just be myself
and always surprise you?

Do I sometimes shock you?
It's because I'm in love.
Do I sometimes annoy you?
It's because I'm in love.
I don't always know who I am
or the best way to show you.
If you will bear with me,
I'll love you more and more!

I mean, what do you think?
Am I messing this up?
Have I made any sense
or just made you laugh?
I guess this is funny,
I must admit it is so.
Who can be explained
when they're in love?
