Love was a riddle

I told myself
love was a riddle
only idiots tried to solve

A tangled mess
of hearts and hopes
that always ends
in pieces

So I built my walls
sharp with reason
and wrapped myself
in the quiet safety
of solitude

But then you came

Unraveling the knots
with hands steady and kind
showing me that some answers
don’t need questions
to be beautiful

Now I smile
letting my heart be foolish
knowing that the best kind of love
is a melody
we get to dance to.
