The Love I Believe In
The love I believe in ebbs and flows but mostly ebbs and flows.
It is reciprocal, enduring, circular--selfless times 2.
The love I believe in is give or take but mainly give and take.
It is not...
I love you but...
I love you and...
I love you or...
It is not joined by conjunctions; limited by qualifiers.
The love I believe in is enough without enough.
It does not hurt, deny, starve.
It is not prescribed, given in doses, taken in abundance, substitution for addiction.
The love I believe in is everything or nothing but mostly everything and nothing.
It is tangible, attainable, reciprocal.
The love I believe in, is enough.
Until, it is not.
And still I believe.
