What Does She Mean by Love?

Isn’t it baffling?
Curious post-script?
What is she thinking of?
Why is she sending me love?
Isn’t it amusing, I have read every last book
But I can’t help feeling there’s something I still overlook
So I search the page for what’s hidden from view
What does she mean by love?
It’s lost on me
I only wish I knew
I’ve read the works of Shakespeare
I can quote Lovelace and Gray
But maybe I don’t understand what they’re trying to say
So I search the page
Is there something I’ve missed?
What does she mean by love?
It’s just a word, but one that I resist
Childhood memories
Long ago feelings
All that’s lost in the past
Love is not meant to last
Jerusha
Jerusha
What am I afraid of?
It’s just a line that she sent
Written in haste, I can’t bother to know what she meant
But I search the page for what words might reveal
What does she mean by love and what does she intend to make me feel?
