Letters On Love

          “A”loves B,
               but B loves J,
               J’s between C and D.
          So A is blue,
               and B is sad;
               J reminds me of you.

          A makes do,
              and B moves away,
              hiding a heart full of pain.
          A gets through,
              and B finds an X,
              always in love with J.

                   Why is love that way -
                   Does love go like that -
                        how and when -
                        where and who.

                   Why don’t you love me -
                   Why don’t I love you -
                         what a joy to share -
                         we’re it true.

          But A loves B,
               and B loves J,
               J’s running toward letters anew.
          So love is blind,
               and hard to find
               a letter for you and for me.
