Love is a funny word I can love my wife, my friends and my kids Willing to sacrifice my sexuality, my time and my very life I can love a political idea, my job and my country Willing to sacrifice friends, family and unity And I can love sausages Maybe the Greeks had it right to use various words It’s hard to know the difference between “Hiya, luv!” “Are you alright, love?” “This is luurve,” and “OH YES, I LOVE IT!” Loving things, people, ideas and experiences The same and different Important and prioritised And what unifies people as well as love? Love is a funny word Let’s use it some more
