my loves

when i met my second love
he loved me.
very much.
he said where have you been? i've been waiting for you.
and i loved him back.
i wanted to give him things.
i wanted to give him flowers. dinner. caresses.
i wanted to give him everything.
he said he loved me.
but that he didn't need any of those things.
that he already had them.
but he said he wanted me, and he loved me.
he promised he would never stop loving me.
even if i stopped loving him, he would always love me.
but i was worried.
my first love said he wanted me, and then stopped.
might my second love do the same?
i didn't know.
i offered him things again.
i thought if he took them, it would prove he loved me.
but he didn't take them. he said he already had them.
but he said he wanted me, and he loved me.
once i told him i didn't love him any more.
i wanted to find out if what he said was true.
i still loved him though. so i came back.
he said where have you been? i've been waiting for you.
he hadn't stopped loving me, just like he said.

when i meet my third love,
i'll love him.
and he'll love me.
very much.
i'll give him things.
i'll give him flowers and dinner and caresses.
i'll give him everything i can.
he'll need those things.
i'll need to give him those things.
because he won't be sure.
he probably had a first love too.
i might not be sure either.
but him and me and my second love will all be together.
me and him, and him and me, and him and him, and him and me and him.
and we'll love each other.
