    The silence and the waiting
    Momentary glances, intertwined with knowing smirks and
    Connections of the minds
    So well connected I have
    No idea what the hell we’re doing

    I think it’s something good
    But everything I think I know I don’t understand
    I told you I love you
    But what, exactly is love?
    Intimate friendship or something different -

    All its own entity
    Something in-between, never understood, never discussed
    For fear of the damage
    Of something serious
    Be it serious friendship or real love

    I love complexity
    But only when it’s a separate entity, not of me
    Characters in stories
    I want my story simple
    But not for the masses, just for the me

    I'd take the last stanza, outline the first four lines and make it its own poem. That part is wonderfully insightful.

    Love is a fire-breathing dragon without regard for the Life that it consumes. Yet in the consumation there is Light, and Liberty.
