goo goo eyes

at the moment
you don't know anyone
that seems truly
in love.
deep romantic
heart pounding love.
butterflies
in the stomach love.
there is lots
of like going around,
lust, and friends
with benefits,
but love, well
that's hard to come by.
the very young seem
to catch it often,
you see them
trying hard to get into
each other's bodies
with their closeness,
and the very old
claim it from
memories. they can show
you photos of men
or women that they
loved, but the hand
holding, staring
at each other with
goo goo eyes kind
of love you just
don't see much
of anymore. but then
again, you've had
blinders on for
some time now.
