Concept for a Villanelle

I have the key lines for a villanelle, I just need to fill in the rest...perhaps a little cheese, mustard and beer will help out later tonight.

Here's the framework:

1. I don't know how this poem will end...
2. -----
3. Not sure if I want you as a lover or friend...

4. ---
5. ---
6. I don't know how this poem will end.

7. ---
8. ---
9. Not sure if I want you as a lover or friend.

10. ---
11. ---
12. I don't know how this poem will end.

13. ---
14. ---
15. Not sure if I want you as a lover or friend.

16. ---
17. ---
18. I don't know how this poem will end.
19. Not sure if I want you as a lover or friend.

11. I smile at possibility
12. I don't know how this poem will end.

13. And when as my "date" you attend
14. Some event, or show we wanted t o see
15. Not sure if I want you as a lover or friend.

17. And even now, I am sorry
18. I don't know how this poem will end.

Actually, I should have made 'love' in 8 something like 'heart' so that 'love' and 'lover' aren't both used.

Ah well, that's what I get for rushing through. But it made me think of newspaper contests I used to enter :-)

Kudos to H for a good job.

Our first artistic collaboration.

Any other takers?
