A Fool's Poem

If love can be measured, i'd be the full 12 inch of a ruler,

and you'd be six inches behind me.
If love can be quantified, i'd be the water that overflows in your glass,
and you'd be the one who'll drink me until there's none.
If love is the universe, i'd be the earth,
and you'd be my sunburn.
If love can be grasped, i'd be the one hugging you to keep you warm in a cold morning,
and you'd be silently still with your back leaning against me.
If love can speak, i'd be a song,
and you'd be texting.


If love is a threshold, i'd be the rug with the welcome note,
and you'd be the one closing the door.
If love is a company, i'd show them how you changed me,
and you'd tell them i'm a good friend.
If love is light, i'd be the wick,
and you'd be the fire that consumes this very being.
If love is god, i'd be the faithful,
and you'd be my commandment.
If love is all that matters, i'd be alone,
and you'd be free.
