Love, who has exquisite manners
often behaves badly,
ever the rude ingenue
Love does not RSVP
she is always showing up uninvited
dressed in her finest clothes
expecting a night on the town
(and how can we tell her no? looking like that)
With love, we allow for much
and are never surprised
that she leaves her mud stained shoes
on our linen tablecloth
we forgive her, everything
Dear adorable love
asks us for a red carpet
and then pulls it from under us
for tiffany
