I love you

I love you and it hurts

I want to move forward

but I remain motionless in the present

thinking of you

and how you

are not

here.

I love you and it makes me happy

to know that my selfishness

has been replaced by 

the promotion

of your

smile

I love you and I don't understand

how these feelings have grown stronger

when I have not seen you 

in two years

and yet

I still

love

you

I love you, or do I?

My naivete about love

will break with experience

in the years to come

but for now

I love

you
