Sonnet 97 – Obsession
I would have thought I would think more of you
with more time on my hands. That doesn’t seem
to be the case, though. In fact, I spend no
more time than I did before. Just one theme
frames my dreams – some would call that obsession,
would think my priorities wrong. I don’t
agree. If you consume my attention,
it’s because I choose to let you. I won’t
feel regret for investing every
possible instant with thoughts of you. Your
love is precious beyond measure to me.
I will live in a way that makes you sure
I only love you right now...and now…and
now. I’ll remain yours until all nows end.
