You Say You Love Me, Till When? Poem by Raimi Babatunde

You said you love me
I don't doubt your love
Which you have demonstrated
Even before your profession
I hope they are not rehearsed
Because they have the semblance
Of some lines in the playboy'sbook

I am not afraid to love
Because when I truly fall
I fall scatter: I fall stupidly
That's why I watch you in 3D
Just to be sure
That my logic beclouds not reasoning
For when you fall in love these days
Take your brain with you

You said you love me
Can I ask you a question?
Promise you will answer sincerely?
Just say "I swear with my life"
Even if you don't mean it
For i understand the power
Behind words said under oath

Now that we are even
You said you love me
But for how long?
Please tell me, till when?
This is to help me prepare
For another heart break
Surprised? I speak from experience

Thus far, you look good
Maybe we even look good
There are times to say "No"
But I guess this is not such a time
So, it will be a "Yes"
But on a trial basis first
Because I think I like you too

It's okay to fall in love
And also to fall out of love
For you, I will try again
Who knows this is prayer answered
My special prayer point
And this is how HE chose to answer
For I'mdone playing hardball
