Love: I, we, thee

I

Can you outgrow the one you love?

No longer be hand and glove

Can the new, the “is”, outweigh?

The “was” that makes you stay

II

Memories warm but equally bind

What’s beneath can be defined

Gratitude and habit seek to rule

Obligation their perfect tool

III

Can love grow, the rose in weeds?

Can the regrowth meet our needs?

Are we destined to be together?

Or is this a fairytale, reality is never

IV

I can’t find my way in past’s shadow

I need time, meditation, to take it slow

I bow to you and what we had

Nothing this special, is centrally bad

V

I will always love you the best

You saved me, the rawest mess

I want to set our love to float

To find me, then for us time’s devote
