Love is like a child
when there are no aspirations
Love is like an adult
when fraught with expectations
Love is too old
when platonic in wisdom
And my love has always been a child and too old
Like it was so tender and ripe to behold
And it was always as good as gold
And you know that I have love in my heart
For I didn’t eat of it but knew its art
And that was always the best part!
