Love Is...(unfinished)
Love is the stain on your favorite shirt,
that you keep wearing despite of it.
It's that creepy spider in the corner of the bathroom,
that you just ignore, instead of kill.
Love is that annoying drip from the faucet,
that you don't have time to fix.
It's the unerased answering machine messages,
that you keep saved just in case you want to hear his voice.
It's the pairs of socks with a ton of holes,
that you just can't bare to throw out.
Love is the hundreds of pennies,
that sit in a jar until you're broke.
It's the hair dryer,
that sometimes short circuts.
Love is boxes of papers,
that were once considered letters.
Love is millions of imperfections,
that keep us wodering.
Love is poems,
that are written late at night when you can't stop thinking.
Love is ...
just exhausting.
