The Essence of Love: A Series of Questions #1

When you say I love you
what exactly do you mean?

You see, love CAN be verb that's transitive
which means it MUST take a direct object.

Am I your direct object of a transitory verb
or is your transitory love meant for someone else?

It can also be INTRANSITIVE,
which means it is an act unto itself.

Does that mean when you love, I am not there
that who or what you love is at some other where?

Or is it that no one is your object of affection
and autoeroticism and narcissism is your predilection!?

But, it is definitely not a verb of SOB,
at least not so between you and me.

Since SOB is state of being and not some bitch,
for me to fit that acronym will mean a clearer pitch

than ever you have ever made before.
So, when you love, is it me that you adore,

or just to be the perfect me (I say this with a sigh.)
when you claim to be in love with me, is it I?

You think I'm done?
That's question one!

Good luck
poor. . . !
