love/antilove PAD 28

 Love’s Kaleidoscope

 

I loved you when I first saw you,

clapping and swaying in church,

when no one else was.

 

I loved you long distance,

letters and phone calls

over two years.

 

I loved you when I said I do,

one fine October day,

when I felt truly blessed.

 

I loved you for the next year,

as mutual twitterpation

carried us through.

 

I loved you through ups and downs,

and all the times

you didn’t love me back.

 

I loved you through your illnesses

when most women

would have been long gone.

 

Now, we’re “going for the gold”

and I love you now more than ever,

and even twitterpation is returning.
