learn to love poem

It's a draft...publishing pushes me to keep working on it...

I want to learn to love you

I have spent my whole life
trying to love people
who let me love them
wrongly

Now, I want to love
rightly
But I wonder
if anyone knows
what that looks like
in real life

What does it mean to you
to be loved
is it security
is it love languages
is it quantifiable in data
like ones and zeroes
or is it messy
like real life

maybe I won't know it's love
until I know what it's not
but
I need you to teach me
so I can love you
Rightly

I want to learn
to love you
rightly
