What is it like
To love another
like you?

To let their name
linger longer on lips
cited and recited
Incantation

To close your eyes
see lightness pervade
cut through blackness
Meditation

To draw the lines
around your face
as smiles evade
a knowing gaze
Repartee

To lie in wait
until the day
catch a ride
see a face
Resignation

To know the same
happens every day
some place and time
yet never again
like them.

To know what is meant
when they say
love is love is love...
