"Incomparable"
by Jeph Johnson
You didn't have to
Ask me the question
Everyone else asked
Every day
Your altruistic actions
Commanded me
To love you anyway
Routine happiness
Appeared commonplace
In your eyes
You must remember
It wasn't there
Before you entered my life
Upon your debut
You immediately discovered
My darkest secrets
And unearthed them
One by one,
Dusting off and displaying
Each shame with the most
Vulnerable sincerity
Nonetheless I found it
Wickedly beautiful when
Someone else confronted me
With the same question;
I told her I couldn't say
The words anymore
I love you - You're like you
You're not like anyone else
You are original
And unlike another
Incomparable
