I saw love grocery shopping the other day.
It wouldn't even look
at me.
I knew it felt
that it owed me
an apology.  It didn't.
I wanted to thank Love.
I just followed it
around the store.
It bought all the
salt and lemons
she could afford.
I went and bought up all the knives.
I couldn't let love
hurt itself because of
me.
It made me sad
to realize
that sometimes
love just gives up
on itself.
I bought sugar with my knives.
For the rest of the afternoon
Love and I sat on the curb cutting lemons
and squezzing them with sugar and
laughed as we threw salt over our shoulders
making wishes.

I love this! The whimsy just makes it more powerful... Wonderful write! *S*
