Love is Funny

I love only a few people.

They are who you'd expect.

My spouse, my kids, my family, my best friend...etc.

But love itself is funny.

It takes near misses to remind us sometimes.

Only when I'm floating. Only when I'm adrift. Only when I'm down the rabbit-hole of lost loves and missed connections do I realize it was here all along.

Sometimes I realize the power of reality only in fantasy.

Once I thought the world would always make sense.

And then I grew up.

And then everything became complicated.

Except love.

Love is simple. You choose and you keep choosing in the face of alternatives.

I love only a few people.

And you know who you are......cause I've told you.
