love that is generous
and waits not
for a thousand little things
to feel diminished
love that speaks openly
rather than store up
the souring years
of unsaid bitter trifles
love that enjoys
it is returned
knows that it is unique
yet may not be the only one
love that does not possess
and has no need to rank
itself on a monopoly
carrying the seeds of self-defeat
love that gives freely
and takes in alike
but never needs
to add up scores
is such a love
inhuman?
