Sweetheart

Sweetheart —

If I could say to you
Something true
What would I say

I would say
As name and form that I am
I love you
As the name and form that you are

But —
If both you and I
As names and forms
Are unsustainable

Then my love for you
Cannot survive
Neither you
Nor I
Can survive

I cannot then say
That I love you —
But just this

Love
