can you begin to perceive
the loss
of something
- of someone -
that did not really
belong to you
that was
yours for the taking
but not
for the keeping?

it always seems that someone loves the other more so
or that someone cares that tiny bit more
so what about those people who seem to be ridiculously in love
even if you haven't met them you've seen them around
they're the ones who married young and everyone thought were crazy
they're the ones who get the balance between love and obsession just right
they're the ones who end up drinking too often and arguing
they're the ones having *** right after a fight

is it worse to be the one who loves more or the one that loves least?
