Love is laughable

because,

hearts heave sobs,

tears trickle down,

and shoulders shake uncontrollably.


Forever is foolish

because

flowers fade,

rings rust,

and doves die.


Always is atypical

because

loves leave,

promises perish,

and bonds break.


But you have convinced me

that love is legitimate,

forever is factual,

and always is absolute.


And I will love this feeling,

forever and always.
