By Paul E. Schindler, Jr.
I’ve come to accept
That being loved by one person
Is an amazement.
It took me a while…
But better late than never.
I have been loved deeply and completely
A few times in my life.
The experience was grand.
But as a serial monogamist,
I loved and was loved one at a time.
Should it have been amazing?
Perhaps not.
In my heart
(which is more than a pump)
I know I deserve riotous and reciprocal love.
I thought I had it a couple of times.
I know I have it this time.
And it is an amazement.
