Title: In love with love
Post by: Dracconia on October 17, 2009, 12:32:05 AM
I am in love with love.
I am fifteen.
I am a girl.

The love I crave is simple.
Flowers at school
Kisses on the cheek
A hand to hold

The love I crave is delightful.
Quarterback of the football team
Letterman's jacket
Class ring

I am in love with love.
I am twenty.
I am a young woman.

The love I desire is fierce.
Candles on the table
Sheets on the floor
Sweat dripping

The love I desire is flighty.
Here forever but lost in moments
Kisses that sizzle out before the movie ends
Hundreds of we should just be friends

I am in love with love.
I am twenty seven.
I am engaged.

The love I cherish is forever.
White gowns
Layered cakes
Flower petals

The love I cherish is true.
Simple rings on trembling hands
Glorious tears on fluttering lashes
Softly whispered "I do"

I am in love with love.
I am thirty four.
I am a mom.

The love I would die for is innocent.
Baby blankets
Stuffed bears
Car seats

The love I would die for is pure.
Scraped knees in the golden sun
Tucking in bear so everyone can sleep
"I wuv you mommy"

I am in love with love.
I am sixty.
I am wiser now.

The love I love is all of the above.
I am blessed for I have had it all.
I fall asleep tonight smiling happily as I remember my
truest love affair.
I have lived my life in love with love, and happily I stay there.


I was thinking of my grandmother tonight and things she said....this came out...I hope it takes you to your truest love affair.

Sweetheart, this... is beautiful.  Very, very well written, and very full of thought and emotion.  I will read it again... more than once.  :)
