I did not ask to fall in love
oh wait! I did, didn’t I?
made a list
everything it would take
for me to fall again
and you matched every need
peered over my shoulder
“add another, go ahead,
I will have that one too”
and waited while I fought
through every one of my “yeah, but”s
waited smiling then laughed
when I finished that list too
I may have asked to fall in love
but I didn’t make it easy
what was it? two days or three
until I jumped with glee
as if it were all my own idea
and you, smiling still, said, “sure”
and that is how our love has been
sure as concrete walls or granite
sure as a floor of basalt
no matter how the world outside it
tossed about
sure
