The Process of Loving Another Human
One,
Two
Months go
By and you
Think this could go all
The way into your twenty-years.
Three,
Four
Months go
By and love
Completely blinds you
Even when you’re separated.
Five,
Six
Months go
By that time
You’ve hit a milestone
And you want to have sex with him.
You
Are
Ever
So frantic
About everything
He does, says, texts, prays, thinks about you.
One
Year
Goes by
And then he
Says he can’t take it
Anymore. And then you are free.
Two
Years
Go by
And you still
Think about what you
Could’ve have done differently.
