Loving you is enough for me

(Sunday Poetry Corner) We always expect reciprocity, and that has a name: "selfishness." And love is the opposite of selfishness; love is incompatible with selfishness. That’s why today I wanted to revisit this poem I wrote… (I was going to say "many years ago," but the truth is, it’s more accurate to say "many decades ago")… so long ago, and yet it remains necessary to remember it.
 
I FOUND YOU
 
Your eyes are those nests
of the love I would desire,
your hands and your laughter
a reflection of the divine
love that gives us life.
 
And I behold your image
as one adores a god,
and it’s enough for me that love
and the words of before
live in my heart.
 
I love you sincerely,
and for you, I will fight;
I have the goal that yesterday
I sought tirelessly
until at last, I found you.
 
Loving you is enough for me.
