All of the Time

I’ve made mistakes.
Love as a contest.
Love as war.

I’ve capitulated sometimes,
and they’ve done the same.
But that’s not compromise,
and not solid ground.

It took me some time
to find love I could savor,
like the first bite of strawberry jam on toast,
just like that, but all of the time.

Hello, Michael,
Love how each stanza flows so well into the next. Smooth and clear. The last stanza is just... so pleasant. The happy feeling of coming home.
Thank you,
