I once ALMOST said to my wife

I LOVE YOU

but I just couldn't !

//

It seemed like such an insult !

//

Like I'm saying

I APPROVE OF YOU !

//

YOU HAVE MET ALL REQUIREMENTS !

----

how limited and limiting !

a whole life of myriad and shared  experiences

simple togetherness

that is love

•

I LOVE YOU

it is what the Spider says to the Fly

//

it is what one says to someone

Whom they have striped of all personhood

It is said to someone you wish to possess

//

It is said to someone you wish to become

Your santuary

//

Once one of her friends asked me if

I loved her

And I honestly answered

I CANNOT SAY

I LOVE HER

BUT I HAVE LOVED  EVERY MOMENT OF

MY LIFE SINCE I MET HER

I LOVE THE LOVE SHE HAS FOR EVERYBODY

FOR IT HAS ENABLED ME TO ALSO LOVE

OPENLY AND FREELY

I CANNOT SAY

I LOVE HER

BECAUSE THEN YOU MIGHT THINK

I LOVE HER MORE THAN I LOVE YOU

I CANNOT SAY

I LOVE HER

BECAUSE THAT MIGHT MEAN

THAT I WANT HER TO LOVE ME MORE THAN

SHE LOVES ANYBODY ELSE

OUR LIVES ARE LOVE

AND ON THE SINGLE

WELL BALANCED POINT

OF TOTAL LOVE

WE LIVE

//

I FEEL SO GOOD AROUND HER

BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS ALWAYS

GLAD TO SEE US

BECAUSE WITH US

THEY BECOME FREE
