LoveDoes

And in that moment

That very first moment

Upon rising from sleep

I am suddenly aware

That it is true

You are really here

Whether near or far

Whether outside or in

You are there prompting

Me to be better

Then than ever before

BeHaveDo

Doing having and being

Are very different things

Doing love for instance

Is natural like birth

It’s an eruption having

Love is a feeling

It’s invisible usually divisible

But being love is

Lonely and of one

What I said first

Is actually really backwards

It’s being having doing

Label

Things often exist long

Before someone calls them

Anything these things go

About doing but only

Be when someone say

Hey look at that

Calling something a name

Never makes it so

It makes it recognizable

Should it happen again

Before that it’s still

Confession

After almost a year

Of back and forth

Of steeplechase and jockeying

We finally did meet

And drank from each

Others cup feeling warmth

I had even before

You took your time

We laugh about it

I’m your very first

You’re not my last

But where we are

Is a comfortable place

I often wonder why

It is always hardest

To tell the truth

When two hearts are

NotYouYeahYou

It wasn’t like I

Thought that it’d be

Much less than fanfare

More like gaining weight

Rather than it thundering

It just quietly called

A hey you there

Not you yeah you

Want to be mine

And finally finally after

The fear of not

Of maybe never forever

You picked me to

Be on your team
