I'm a poet, and by that identity, I am loyal. When I love you, I immortalize you in my texts. Now that I love you, my love for you never ceases. My love will endure until the end of Time. I cannot even call you my Beloved to your face, and even so, I love you even if we were never to be together. I love you because you are. I love who you are. I love how you came to be. I love your mind. I love how you show up in the world for yourself and for others. I realized that culture and society teaches us that love is only love if it results in our union – I don't believe that to be true. Love is love because I love. And I love you. And I feel joy because you exist.
