on describing why i think im in love

in knowing you i have found that loss
is in every minute of everyday,
like your smile,
that disappears,
far to often,

keeping me desperate,
to act,
react,
bring it forth again.

i have found that loss doesn’t just explode,
no-
it is far more insidious.

it diffuses,
leaking gas to every corner,
waiting for a stroke,

a lit match,
to explode.

it permeates in every moment i live,
i breathe
with you.
cause all i can imagine is when you leave loss will arrive again.

and even in knowing that,
i stay by you
for there is so much more to gain.
