You resisted with words, plans and actions

You resisted with words, plans
and with actions you tried to avert,
daily you erected new higher ramparts
to try and ward off,
constantly you tried to force me back,
where I tried to love you
past time and counsel,
in silent betrayal you did fall in love with me.
