“I love you more,” he said with a grin,
“By a mile, by a lot, and I’m sure to win.”

She rolled her eyes, “Oh, that’s sweet,
But I love you more, can’t be beat.”

“No way,” he scoffed, “I love you most,
I even shared my garlic toast.”

“I love you more,” she said with flair,
“Like sunshine on a summer air.”

“I’d fight a lion just for you,”
He teased, “I’d win, that’s nothing new!”

“But I hold your hand when you’re half asleep,
And whisper ‘shhh’ when your dreams get deep.”

He chuckled, “And I press snooze every day,
Just to lie beside you and delay.”

“You must be tired,” he winks, all bold,
“Been running through my mind, truth be told.”

I blink, I groan, “Please not again.”
He nods, “Babe, these lines? Solid ten outta ten.”

He goes and pulls me near,
Whispers, “You’re my favorite human, dear.”

And though I sigh and roll my eyes,
He wins again, no real surprise.

With just one ring, the world stood still,
A question asked, a heart to fill.
A whispered yes beneath starlight,
Two souls entwined that gentle night.

The places humans go,
Oh where to?
I wan to know.

They run in circles
But never ask why.
They've become brittle
Over time.

And if they paused,
At least just to breathe.
Maybe death's claws,
Wouldn't be a thief.

Of the time they wasted
Chasing their tails.
Have they tasted
The wind at sail?

The places humans go,
Oh where to?
I wan to know.
