A LOVE LIKE
I want a love like a movie montage.
Cute dates and sweet kisses
Hand-holding and easy laughs
I want a love like wine.
Pleasant and heady
Flavorful and intoxicating
A love like friendship.
Inside jokes and closeness
Acquired telepathy and comfort
Like the sun.
Bright and fierce
Warm and life-giving
I want a love like music.
Piercing and distinctive
Beautiful and versatile
I want a love that helps
And heals.
That aches
But doesn’t take
Only gives
The greatest joy imaginable.
I want a love that’s mine.
