It’s odd. Her name has passed his lips on a nightly basis. And his has trampled her mind every morning. And so she says: I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you And he repeats it back, in the same tone: I love you too. I love you too. And all they talk about is their love, how much he loves her, how much she loves him, how he’s dying without her and she’s dying without him. But she doesn’t know, His dogs name His grandmothers favorite thing to do with him. How his lisp sometimes impedes his ability to speak. That his brother is living in a constant state of borderline insanity. And he doesn’t know, About the way she speaks with her late father every night. Her dogs name The way her mother can’t stand to look at her. About the Zoloft she hides in her empty drawers. But it stays the same. I love you I love you too I love you Don’t you know I love you too I know it’s easier to say I love you when you’re unsure. When you’re kind of in love. Throwing around the phrase to find someone to hook on, someone who kind of loves you too. It’s harder when you are in love, to put your heart on a tightrope, unsure of its own stability. Will it fall? Will you fall with it? Will anyone catch you? It’s even more difficult when you know you’re not in love. For putting the heart of another on that same tightrope is even harder to watch. So why do they throw the phrase around so easily? Why is it their only conversation? Is it really love if their conversation has no substance beyond their alleged love? When you don’t know enough about someone, and you’re questioning everything about them, and your lips shake and your hips quake and you’re waiting for them to just fucking respond already, and god you just need to know that they’re doing fine, isn’t that lust? Saying I love you, as if to convince themselves of love, isn’t that lust? But with a heavy heart I look upon the way they take solace in each other, and the way they know. They know. They know it’s love. Holy shit. It is enough.
