Alex Dimitrov, “Poem Written in a Cab”, Love and Other Poems

“I don’t like to think of myself as an insincere person but if I say I love you and I don’t mean it then what else am I? Will I cherish you, adorn you, make myself better for you, look at you and always see you, tell you the truth? And if love is not those things then what things is it?”

I’m making this a part of my marriage vows: “Today is the day I ask myself, ‘Will I cherish you, adorn you, make myself better for you, look at you and always see you, tell the truth?’ Today is the day I promise you these things. Because if love is not those things, then what things is it?”
