Dopamine

Dear Love

I am sorry I chased you

I believed Corinthians

Thought grace and goodness would win you

Thought my passion could conceal my flaws

Thought I could bury myself so deep inside you

We would breathe in synchronization

Love

I am sorry I blamed you

I thought I found you in the middle of a slow jam

I danced to melancholy lyrics

Passed you by while spinning

Hands lifted in praise of pain

Meditating on

Holding on

Standing strong

Never letting go

Love

You are not permanence

I am sorry I kept mispronouncing your name

We were never properly introduced

I kept getting you mixed up with

Oxytocin

Dopamine

I called you emotional

I read The Song of Solomon without understanding metaphors

Dear Love

I appreciate your honesty

The way you move with purpose

You arrive

When I am still

You remain

While I am letting go

You arrive

When I am still

You remain

While I am letting go
