The Thing About Love

The
                                     thing 
                                about love is
                you can stretch it till it’s paper thin
                            it will not break

                   you can hide it, even deny it
                          it will not disappear

                       The thing about love is
       you can trust it when you can’t see in the dark
                           it will be there

         you may be alone, you may lose everything
                     it will still be your friend

         like a willow in the wind leaning into bend
                      the thing about love is
                         it will not break or
                               disappear 
                                it will be 
                                there to
                                the end
