Like freshly squeezed mango kale grape juice

Like band-aids with antiseptic gel on the gauze

I love him like this.

Like riding a heart stopping coaster five times
Like drinking Hurricanes during a storm in New Orleans
Like cutting our wrists to mingle our blood

This is how I love you.

Some days I just need a head scarf

And a cool breeze

And a tank full of gas

And him.

Some days I just need a red sarong

And a secluded beach

And a fruity umbrella drink

And you.

Can’t have everything, I’m told

A farmhouse with him

or backpacking through Europe with you

Its always tough to choose

I love him like this.

Like diving fifty feet into a pool
Like hot and muggy summer nights

This is how I love you.

Some days, most days, those days

Like one split into two

Its always tough to lose

Isn’t dying happily holding hands with him

the same as loathing living life without you?
