Infatuation or Love

Folder: 
Summer of 2003

It is possible I think

To love some one too much.

So that each time you kiss

The burning fever from their lips,

Or rub the smoothness of

Their furrowed brow,

A small piece of your soul

Is transferred to theirs.

And if they do not in turn

Grant a gift of their own body,

Then perhaps that love is

Not truly love at all

But mere infatuation.

For love is not one sided

Never selfish, never blind.

And love should never leave

You with a soul too empty

To love yourself.
