Blue to Orange

I can love.
I was born loving.
I can love you from blue to orange.
I can sense when you are tense
        and rub your back or head or feet
        until you feel calm again.
I can feel when you are sad
        and kiss you and whisper lovely words
        until you are smiling again.
I was made especially for loving.
I love easily.
I love people when they let me see who they really are,
        even a glimpse, and I am in.
I love more people than I remember.
I love you already, though I haven’t told you yet.

I am afraid of loving you and losing you
        or of loving you too much and scaring you off
        or of you not loving me.
I don’t expect that you could love me
        as much as I could love you
        but it would be nice to match someone for once.
I haven’t even decided yet how much to let myself love you.
I look into your eyes some days and I see forever,
        but other days, I can’t look at you any longer
        without wanting to cry out for want of something.
I could love you better than you thought anyone could,
        but you have to give me enough back.
I wonder if you could be great at loving me.
I wonder if you can love like me.
I wonder if you love me.
I hope you can.
