There is

nothing equal
about love.
There, I said it.
It ebbs and flows,
like a low, constant,
humming
voltage
between two beings.
The waves
dramatic, from one
end,
some days,
and short and cozy
on others.

We don’t love
alike, just like
we don’t experience
coffee or chocolate
alike. And that
simply adds to
its near perfection.

For to love
freely, and to
be loved generously
in return, is
perhaps one
of the most truly
magnificent things
that
aren’t things, one
can experience.

So here’s to you,
lover, you my precious
dog, you my dear
friend, you my
amazing
sister.

This thing we
feel, is indeed,
love.
