If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.

African Proverb*

I can't visualize what life would be like
Without you.
I will never awaken to such an aimless love
Without you.
I will never show the buttercup's glow
Without you.

I cannot love
Without you,
But I will never love you.
Bring a buttercup to your chin;
Legend has it,
If it glows yellow
You love butter.

What is the target
Of aimless love?

"Aimless Love" is a book of poetry by Billy Collins, former Poet Laureate of the United States. This poem was inspired by his work, which is in a class of it's own.
