One can love you with the intensity of
The BIG BANG when it ignited.
One can love you until our Sun fades
And our planet Earth is blighted.
One can love you with the simple joys
That can make a child delighted.
One can love you and defend you
And offer comfort when you're slighted.
One can love you like a kitten
When a ball of string makes it excited.
One can love you with the vision
That's not short but only far sighted.
One can love you in so many more ways
But don't rhyme and aren't cited.
Although such a love just can't last
If it continues long unrequited

Edward Iacona
