True Love or (How I Got Here)

Amazing how much I miss him
When I go away like this.
I sit and think and miss
Him.

I love like I never thought
I would. Love like an adult,
Like my mother? Four times.
Love.

Each one better than the last.
Each one more real. I feel
Lucky that our kind of marriage was
Banned.

I quiver when I think about it.
Hers got worse and mine just
Got better. I am virtually
Married.

And it is good.
