ok cupid asked me how many times i’ve been in love
i wish i could answer ‘i don’t know’
i don’t know if i’ve ever been in love because i don’t know if i know what love is
is love the way you feel when you want to press your head into someone’s chest
is love the way you feel when you are just happy to see someone smile
is love the way you feel when you’re crying at the end of a movie you wanted to keep going forever
i’ve heard so many things about what love is and isn’t and
i wonder if love is transitory
is it possible to be in love for a half millisecond
perhaps we have all been in love at least a million times by age five
maybe when the great artists speak of love they are speaking of
many singular moments of great passion and clarity
all strung together
i believe it is possible that i have been in love more times than ok cupid will let me answer
