ave, I say ave,

I know that loving me’s not easy, but you do it,
real love from somewhere on the other side of dreams,
past all the sparkle and champagne, beyond the white lace flying

ave, yes ave,

I think you love me even more than the old house so loaded
with its peeling paint and memories, love me sweeter than day lilies
out there in the yard, even the persimmon tree’s incongruous fruit

ave, I say to you,

your love is time is love to me, strong as forever ever could become
and it does run deeper than the mountains, more beautiful
than a Sunday morning stop for groceries on the way

ave, ave my love,

there’s nothing more to say

This is lovely! My favourite part is the middle stanza (and boy! do I love that part!) and the white lace flying in the first.
