i loved you
before it was cool
before i knew
what love meant.
love it seems is more
than hearts and flowers;
more than sweet
expressions.
it’s hard work,
honestly, this love stuff.
not for the
weak of spirit.
there have been
days when i felt the dearth
of love; its
cold absence.
but mostly love’s
embraced us like the warmest
hug on the coldest
night. perfect.
