WONDER LOVE
BY MELISSA HALEY
Varieties that exist,
Expressions of love
That hang in the mist of the morning.
The wonder of my mind:
Which one are you and how are you feeling?
Romantic, passionate love – eros
Affectionate love – philia
Selfless, universal love – agape
Familiar love – storage
Obsessive love – mania
Playful love – ludus
An enduring love – pragma
Self love – philautia
I hesitate to take a step forward for I know as soon as the mist of the morning touches my skin, I will fall into love again. As you stand there, I recognize that I do not exist in your world, and that these feelings of love only live in my mind, the wonder of my mind. | MH
