(*thinking as i was about two dear friends who seem to have got loving right, and my own heart as it pours…)<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mostly, spend my days thinking of 
ways 
to tell you I love you 
 
finding inadequate terms 
for  
just how much <\/p>\n\n\n\n

wondering how things would be 
if we were to more normalize 
saying I love you to each other 
to friends who sustain us 
or family… 
to those whose inherent beauty shines,
regardless of notoriety 
or calling 
to hearts that have been kind 
for goodness that somehow  
glows 
under the surface of your skin <\/p>\n\n\n\n

for those who try their best 
whose intentions are  
good 
and responses come  
natural 
with an ease <\/p>\n\n\n\n

there was a singer of some note 
whose life became terminal 
or rather more terminal in  
haste 
was seen kissing everyone around him 
on the lips
(made people uncomfortable)
and some wondered 
why <\/p>\n\n\n\n

yet, if you knew that your days 
were numbered 
(as indeed they are) 
would you suddenly crave 
a very real 
connection to life 
to love 
and to gratitude <\/p>\n\n\n\n

would you wish to make it clear 
to those you touch 
how very much this meant 
to a 
life that\u2019s been lived <\/p>\n\n\n\n

if we spent as much time 
as we do 
checking our appearance, 
our.. status, our  
armour 
stating our cases, our opinions
and grievances
 
and instead recharged ourselves 
on love 
and loving <\/p>\n\n\n\n

not once expecting 
where this might get us 
or what would come in return
no fear of rejection or ridicule
rather, 
just knowing that love was ours 
to give <\/p>\n\n\n\n

and how very fortunate we were 
to know it <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wouldn\u2019t this then
be the way…   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

to really
living? \u2665<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
