Sometimes... Ode to my Dear Love
By Yana Ducreay
Sometimes I fell in love
Sometimes I fell out of love
Sometimes love ran away from me
Sometimes I ran away from love
Sometimes love was too scary to love
Sometimes love wasn’t scary at all
Sometimes I felt too much love
Sometimes I felt too little love
sometimes I pushed love away
Sometimes all my soul craved was love
Sometimes, I love love
Sometimes I hate love
Sometimes, love became became the death of me
Sometimes, my love birthed life
Sometimes love became a stranger
Sometimes, a stranger became love
Sometimes love felt like home— the only place that could salvage my broken
Sometimes I needed rescue from my love
Sometimes love made me feel like the world was conquerable
Sometimes my love hurt me—yearning for it’s pain to be stripped away from my body
Sometimes my love healed every wound caused by my love
Sometimes my love did not last
Sometimes my love lasted an eternity and then beyond
Sometimes my love had to let go to choose me
Sometimes my love had to hold on and choose the other
Sometimes my love was begged to be the chosen love
Sometimes my love was the first to be chosen
Sometimes I gave my love away
Sometimes, I latched unto my love as if it was my savior
Sometimes my love chose me
Sometimes, my love chose everyone else but me
Sometimes my love showed grace
Sometimes my love burnt down brides and scattered its ashes across oceans
Sometimes I beg to be loved
Sometimes, others begged for my love
Sometimes I no longer wanted my love
Sometimes, my love was all I needed
