is love necessary?
is it necessary to have a hand to hold?
heartbeats to listen to?
gazes to melt into?

is it necessary to crave affection from another
before you have given yourself any?

is it truly necessary to starve
and sob
and switch
to feel loved?

i do not know of the true pleasures of love
nor of what symphonies come out of two pairs of lips
but i do, however
know of mountains
and galaxies
and sights not known to man

all of it, in its entirety
if you love not an individual

but yourself.
