not a feeling

When I said I loved you,

I thought of butterflies, sunshine, orchids.

But I was wrong.

When I say I love you,

I mean when the butterflies are gone, the sun has set,

Winter has come and orchids are dead.

Love is not always easy,

And I love you still.

    Very, very well done. Love is far beyond attraction and attachment. It can never be lost nor broken… or end. Many of the other poems tried to convey attachment as love, but this has far more truth anchoring it. Which makes it one of my favourites ❤️
