Love
Love is beyond belief.
You may not believe me
If I told you all the things love causes,
That "because I love you" causes,
Good and bad of course.
Love comes in both these forms afterall
And you cannot choose which comes first
Nor can you predict which comes next
It is possible to become good at catching
All the things love throws your way.
You should always try to catch it
Because it can be a good thing
Just as often as it could be a bad thing.
Two can catch more than one,
So you will find someone to hold the basket with
Which you will use to catch all these things.
You will learn to time your steps better.
But you two will also realize that the basket limits
Each of you
And the two of you will get rid of the basket
And each catch on your own.
This too leads to a realization.
You cannot carry this all on your own!
You two come together again
To ease the weight on your heavy arms and shoulders
But really to figure out a better way to catch these things.
Love makes you leave
But it is with the chance you two can meet again
That this absence is worth its loneliness.
The effort on both sides is essential,
As is the trial and error.
Love is beyond belief
But not once you are in it.
