Love...

Go after her. Fuck, don't sit there and wait for her to call,
Go after her because that's what you should do.
If you love someone, don't wait for them to give you a sign
Cause it may never come, don't let people happen to you,
Don't let me happen to you, or her,
She's not a fucking television show or tornado.
There are people I might have loved
Had they gotten on the airplane or run down the street
After me or called me up drunk at four in the morning
Because they need to tell me right now and because
They cannot regret this and I always thought I'd be the only
One doing crazy things for people who would never give
Enough of a fuck to do it back or to act like idiots
Or be entirely vulnerable and honest and making someone
Fall in love with you is easy and flying 3000 miles
On four days notice because you can't just sit there
And do nothing and breathe into telephones is not
Everyone's idea of love but it is the way
I can recognise it because that is what I do.
Go scream it and be with her in meaningful ways
Because that is beautiful and that is generous
And that is what loving someone is,
That is raw and unguarded and that is all
That is worth anything, Really.
