And it’s harder to write about love than it is to write

 

Do I love you because you’re beautiful, 

Or are you beautiful because I love you?

I cherish you as my breath, 

As the song of a nightingale.

I found you in the woods and I brought you home; 

You were wild, but you have become tame.

I love you more than I love these poems— 

Which is to say that I love these poems too.

You are the second-best thing in my life, 

The first being so ill-suited for expression.

I’m not quite as good at loving as I am at writing,  

And it’s harder to write about love than it is to write
