And I Forgot To Tell You: It's A Lot Like Love

Read this through, see what you make of it, then read the description of what it was really saying at the bottom. I hope you enjoy it. ^^
``````````````````````````````````````````````

...And I forgot to tell you: it's a lot like love -
When vengeance forgets to sing and the wind sparkles like your eyes
Through the tarnished leaves - I'll set - gazing upon a Butterfly.
White fence which shakes a tease - away from her it hides me so - oh my!

...And I forgot to tell you: it's a lot like love -
As that flower of prominence brushes past your fingertips - yet hide;
Fence, nor grass, nor dangerous stone alike could confuse me of my guide
Or banish me away for the like, perhaps, only if you tried.

...And I forgot to tell you: it's a lot like love -
When you push your eyes to my grace; how innocent you must taste.
When your eyes dance with your intensity, oh my interest soars to haste,
And yet they told me, though still a child, "Shhh, love's not a waste."

...And I forgot to tell you: it's a lot like love -
When you bend to a curious state to examine that butterfly,
I scream inwardly to tell you, "It's a mistake, away it may fly
If you try to get too close; this thing of love is hard to come by."

...And I forgot to tell you: it's a lot like love -
As your fingertips grace your lips, when you breathe to realize your mistake,
Upon a glimmering petal, light shines on a butterfly which quakes
Too afraid to allow your touch (though I wouldn't mind), it shutters away and the light shakes.

...And I forgot to tell you: it's a lot like love -
And it's a sin - you shining brighter than the sun when you dance,
And it's a sin - looking as innocent as you do when you look at me with a glance.
Tell me this is long for love; there I stand, by your look I'm entranced.

...And I forgot to tell you: it's a lot like love -
The hills shutter in the shadows, beckoning to us to dance on the land,
And they tell me it would be okay to be lost within your hands;
Whisper me something soft and we'll show this love where we really stand.

...And I forgot to tell you: it's a lot like love -
Oh, do no hesitate away from me, Butterfly, the sun's shining too brightly for me:
When vengeance forgets to sing and the wind sparkles like your eyes,
I'll watch your smile, a glint of glass in my eye, - (How she looked at me!)
As I burn to touch her cheek and whisper, "It's a lot like love, you'll just have to see."
...And I forgot to tell you, Gorgeous: it's a lot like love.

Description/Meaning:
This is the description of a young boy, falling in love for the first time. He is standing behind a "white fence", watching the little girl, who is looking a "glimmering petal" as she "..bends to examine that butterfly" and "It shutters away and light shakes".
The hidden meaning behind this is that you need realize the boy calls the girl "Butterfly" in the beginning of the poem, and then later in the poem as the girl tries to touch a <real> butterfly, but it flies away, it is saying that the girl is like a butterfly, and if he were to touch her, she would too fly away. Make sense now? ^^

    First things first, the title of this poem is memorable and creative. Makes the reader interesting and curious and is... well... great.

    Next, the actual poem. It was pretty but I was admittedly a bit confused. I didn't quite know exactly what or who was being described. It still had great imagery (of course) and a good story line, but a bit confused.

    And, of course, the description. It cleared everything up and made me like the poem even more. It was definitely a good decision to at that on...

    A great piece of writing.... I love both the description and the hidden meaning... Amazing.

    Wow. I kind of thought that's what it meant, but I didn't. Lol. I figured it had to do with someone/something falling in love, but a few things were just like. gah. I wasn't sure anymore.

    But, once you explained it understood it completely.
    And, fell more deeply in love with it. (:
    Once again, the long lines work flawlessly together. (:

    You have talent, my darling.
