Love Stays


Some would have
love's limits
as an arithmetic
of two plus two

Some would have
love a duty,
a paper promise
between two

Some would give
love a beginning
and have it end
too soon

Some would spend
love like money
as the bills
come due

Some would say
love conquers
but love
does not

Some do know
love only reveals
to those
that can receive

Some do know
that love begins
when doubt
is put away

Some do say
love does end
but even then
love stays.
