April 25, 2023 - write a love poem, one that names at least one flower, contains one parenthetical statement, and in which at least some lines break in unusual places.
Yet
It's too early
I cannot be in love - yet
We have not travelled
to an exotic destination
together - yet
We have not
cooked a favourite meal
in a cramped kitchen
using whatever we can find
in the fridge - yet
We have not
spent the entire night
staying awake (or trying to)
marveling at the moonlight
creeping across the crumpled bed sheets - yet
We have not bared
every single
heartwrenching past hurt
and vowed never to do it again - yet
We have not
stared deeply
into each other's eyes
seeing ourselves there - yet
We have not
plucked Daisy petals off
one by one
loving you - loving you not - yet
Yet...
there is something
I cannot explain
cannot put into mere words
or even glances
a force
that will not be ignored
Something that just...
is...
Yet... maybe it is love
