Loving You

by Anne Moore   Feb 7, 2020


You ask if I still love you

“Yes, more than death, you should already know that”

I should have lied,
I should have said no
It would’ve been better
For you
Because this is unfair to you,
To make you watch me
Crumble
To make you watch me
Deteriorate

So I’m sorry
For doing this
We were never supposed
To make it this far
Take it this far

But here we are
A year down the shoot
But where are we going?

    This made me immediately think of "You before me" (movie with Emilia Clarke & Sam Claflin), and it also made me think of the movie, "The Theory of Everything", about Stephen Hawking and his life with ALS. The powerful movement of love, in spite of pain and possibly known suffering... the reality that sometimes it can hurt to love through all this because it is now a unity - so this person sees and perhaps takes some of the burden you are struggling with and vice versa. Love endures all. This was a heartfelt piece, especially with the question at the end, with that taste of sadness and knowing that it may not be this guaranteed future or promise of everything in the world. It's a limited life, but that doesn't mean the love can't be limitless.
