Love

Colleen told me

that when she was young

she used to hate when people said

"I love you a lot"

why muddy I love you with a word

people can't decide is two words or not

a lot of bullshit if you asked her

alot of wasted breath

a lot of explaining that love couldn't be measured by weight or by size

you couldn't love someone more than love

you couldn't just count up and collect loves

idiot.

so I told her I loved her a little

and she rolled her eyes
