4am

I found your love in a book,
Pressed between the pages like petals of a flower.
I found your love in a song,
Music notes aligning beautifully on a broken staff.
I found your love in a text message, 
Tiny black letters on a dimly lit screen.
I found you love in a kiss,
Soft and slow hands on my hips.
I found your love in bed,
But it wasn’t love at all.
I found your lust instead.
