Despite Love

Amazed at how much you give us, we
Tremble when you speak because your words
They move us, so simply,
Moving us,
Especially when out of the crowd,
You catch our eye,
We gaze,
Locked in smile,
Knowing we must look foolish, but,
Who cares…
You found us by yourself and,
Nobody here thinks we are on your level.
Nobody here thinks we deserve what,
You want to give.
Giving after all feeds us,
Feeds me, so much that
I’ll go back to the moments when
Things were so hard.
My stomach remembers the
Clenching.
My stomach remembers the
Tightening.
And despite how amazing you are,
You know,
Despite how much in love everyone may be


Yesterday,
Today,
Tomorrow,
Despite love I think,
You make it all easy.
