Unstoppable

An older poem about my boyfriend.

I love you
More than a mouse feels for cheese
More than a detective loves a clue
More than a hot summer day longs for a breeze

I love you
Like a junkie needs his next pill
Like the sky would be nothing without blue
Like a fish would die without a gill

I love you
More than a doctor loves to heal
More than a photographer loves a great view
More than a poker player lives for a lucky deal

I love you
Like a teacher loves her class
Like the rain needs the earth to fall into
Like a landscaper lives off the grass

I love you
More than a mop needs the floor
More than a philosopher loves something true
More than the day before
