i love you is bland
i love you is dry
how do i do so,
can you tell me why?

i could love you for the little things
the car rides
the coffees
the opening of the door

i could love you for the big things
the sickness
the rich
the poor
and the old

but could you love me,
like i love you?

could you love me for all the things,
could you love me for loving you?
