Love
The mystery’s the attraction.
The attraction brings them together.
Being together erases the mystery.
The erasure brings them to a point of decision.
The choices can be life altering.
To remain or to leave?
To separate or stay together?
For tonight or forever?
Tonight can be wild and thrilling
Then, tomorrow comes.
Forever can be ponderous and frightening.
Not knowing if tomorrow will come.
The desire screams, “Tonight!”
The fear calls out, “Never.”
Both hearts agree on tonight.
Tomorrow, both hearts scream, “Forever!”
What is this thing called love?
