I Have Loved
All the same and very different, I have loved.
Cocoa crescendo falling in curls. yellow hibiscus. Her face inspiring Gaia. I grazed across far-reaching hips and dreamt them, as wide and beautiful her heart I broke.
I have loved ruthlessly.
Clammy, moist, latte flesh juxtaposed with misplaced contention, clutching his phone, clutching his fist in my belly, in my hand.
I have loved painfully.
Keen wit, quiet lips, silk and skin and video games. 20 minute car rides. A tongue across my spine, laughter, distance of his heart.
I have loved haphazardly.
Three hundred faces, unspoken sentiment, inactive resonance, a child, a man, a mother, a friend.
I love quietly.
All the same and very different, I have loved.
Will I again?
