to be in love
is to love a man
who lived in the past
he is on the far right in
that photo of your grandfather and
his platoon from
the vietnam war
he is a stranger to you yet
he is strong
worldly
a hero
he is dead
but you are in love
to be in love
is to love a man you
have made up in your head
to be more to you
than they truly are
