The Ode to Love

Song lyrics, viral videos on repeat
Every word pronounced and the laughter loud
Without her, I’d keep in my head
She plucks my energy off the ground

An ordered list or inquires may await me
A probability tree for each hypothetical possibility
With round deep eyes, brown and gleen
She listens and holds, and wait for me

She hates walking in the rain, wet shoes cause her pain
Specifics and to-do lists, you’ll never catch her clueless
Though the universe bears on her, she’ll rarely complain,
Mistakes and words are met with nothing but patience

Raised to be older, she’s honed her craft
The speed of her wit, the dictionary of her mind.
You think you’ve seen better? Don’t be so daft
You’ll never meet someone so unfailingly kind

When it feels like she’s leaving you,
The sadness will pervasive
The thought of the silence will make your mind blue
The eyes and the awe, the thought is abrasive

Her hand won’t always be so close to hold
She’s just too good, and she ought to know
The universe’s broader plan needs to unfold
For that, you’ll have to let her go.
