Mr. Webster

Dear Mr. Webster,

1 week
2 days
11 hours
33 minutes &
47 seconds
Into this relationship
You have failed me.
225,000 words are not enough.

Define:
To Like –
1. To be suitable or agreeable to
2. To feel toward

Define:
To Love –
1. To hold dear: cherish.
2. To feel a lover's passion, devotion, or tenderness for.
3. Unselfish, loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another.
4. Attraction based on sexual desire.
5. Warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion.

So what is it?
Do I like her?
I like pizza.
I like playing cards.
I like a cold beer.
Certainly she means more than that.
Do I love her?
Maybe it is too soon to know
Just where this is headed
So at this very moment
Might that be too much?

Yet if I more than like her,
But I’m not supposed to love her,
Do I love/like her?
Do I loke her?

What is there in between?
Adore – Fancy – Respect
Treasure – Value – Want
Need – Covet – Crave

No, Mr. Webster,
I do believe
You have let me down.

Sincerely,

Speechless
