What Love Can Do

 What Love Can Do

Fearful, frightful, phobic, frantic.

Shudders, shakes, anxious antics.

What is all this dither and ‘do?

It was my unrequited love for you.

Notice “was,” “is” in the past tense.

Notice me, present tense, smiling, no longer tense.

You invited me into your life.

Me, a man once full of strife.

You, so loving, became my wife.
