I want to burn bright
like a supernova
but they only last for weeks or
months
and
I'd be happy if I could shine
so singularly
for a minuscule
fraction
of a second
I love the phrase
my love
and although I love
more than one person
my love
is only ever you

not because I think you are mine
in any way
but because
it feels
like all of the love I have in me to give
is yours

and all the love I have in me to give
is due to you
it is you

you are my love
my love is you
my love is yours
and I feel every wave of your soul
quiver
against every particle of mine
my love, you are the reason for everything I do
I'm tired
of the heat
and the humidity

when you're not here
to distract me
if the universe is deterministic
if fate has dealt me this hand
then I have always met you
I have always loved
and always lost

and still
it wouldn't matter
if this was preordained
or set in stone from the beginning of time
even if it was my own choices
that led me here
I wouldn't change a single one
if I had to choose
today
I think I'd scream your name
until my throat was dry
and rough
and screaming hurt
like loving you
does
