How Do I Love Thee?
Written to the prompt “How do I love thee?”
Inwardly, outwardly, besidesly,Crazily, lovingly, longingly,Eternally and loudly,These are the ways that describe the small things,By squeezing myself from between the spaces of time arguments hide in,By adding an extra spoon of cocoa powder to a cup of coffee,By acknowledging that I am less than a perfect sum of parts,Here is to becoming two halves of an imperfect whole,Grown together,Joined together,Held together,By squeezing ourselves into the spaces of time our love loves to thrive in
