Love to Me
Love to me is no longer confessions of longing,
or testimonies of attraction.
Love to me is laughing together all shift,
and you taking out my trash before I notice it’s full.
I want to take care of you when you’re overwhelmed,
and hangout with you after it’s time to go home.
You took time to think about what I said
and you, who’s never been sure about anything in your life, came back and said
despite all the confusion, you were always sure you could never love me.

Your poem speaks with an authenticity that is captivating. The lines “You took time to think about what I said/and you, who’s never been sure about anything in your life, came back and said/despite all the confusion, you were always sure you could never love me” stayed with me long after reading them. Thank you
