The Thing About Love

The thing about love is you can stretch it till it’s paper thin it will not break you can hide it, even deny it it will not disappear The thing about love is you can trust it when you can’t see in the dark it will be there you may be alone, you may lose everything it will still be your friend like a willow in the wind leaning into bend the thing about love is it will not break or disappear it will be there to the end

"The thing about love, it will be there to the end" So true. There are so many amazing thoughts within. This is my favorite.. "You can stretch it till it’s paper thin, it will not break. So wonderful indeed. Once again, your words curl around me. :) Brandy

I once thought I had such a love as you describe in your amorous poem, Mike. I was his willow. Memories...
