Comfortable Love

All of the poems

Are about young love

And living happily ever after

Or about how you’ll never get over

Something that ended

Unexpectedly too soon

Where are the poems about

That comfortable love

The kind where you maybe

Don’t text every day

Where I love you comes

In the form of “Drive safe –

The weather’s supposed to be bad”

Rather than letters

Full of flattery and promises

Where staying up all night

Is replaced by going to bed

At a reasonable hour

Because being cranky isn’t sexy

And reckless abandon

Just doesn’t take precedence to

Careful planning

Because this weekend’s plan

Is far more important than

Whatever it is forever could

Maybe possibly hold
