The Prospect of Love



Love doesn't but the prospect of love excites,
Like the sliding glance from eyes to lips excites,
Like the contagious laughter excites,
Like remembering the tiny details excites,
Like defending your silly argument excites,
Like searching for you in the crowd excites,
Like absurd abrupt conversation excites,
Like turning back after the goodbye excites,
Like planned coincidental meeting excites,
Like standing in silence in proximity excites,
Like declaring "I trust you" excites,
Like that crooked smile while they turn away excites,
Unlike the known- labelled -in contact love,
The prospect of love excites.
