Slices

I have loved some things too much
Not for their looks
-Or monetary value-
Not for their popularity
Or the way others see them.

I have loved things for their line
For the way the sun hits them
Early in the morning
Or late in the evening.

I have loved them for their souls
For the way they make you feel
When you thought that you
Had stopped feeling.

I have loved some things too much
For when they were gone
They had taken something from me

Small slices

Like sweet melon on a summer's day.
