I love You because I can’t not.

I remembered You,

and remembering You

is the same thing as loving You.

You love me just as I am.

There is nothing I need to be, to be adored.

And it is this love that transforms me.

As undeniable and inevitable

as moon-rise.

You kiss me breathless

in the rose garden,

and I cannot help but flower.

Claimed by love -

undone by tousled devotion.

as the moon rises
