but not like that
not like the way that first sunray feels
when it hits your winter-pale skin
not like the contented way you fall asleep
in your hammock
underneath the moonlight
like the saltwater smell in your hometown
or the taste of banana pancakes on the weekends
not like the kick you get
when you snap a perfect picture
not the like the adrenalin that travels through you veins
when you dance
not like discovering a magic place
within a complete stranger
or like creating something artsy
no darling
you don't love me like that

This reminds me of the passing nature of some types of love..like chemical reactions, reagents and catalysts.
I certainly don't mean to detract from this lovely piece but I must ask myself when reading it--how do we guard such sentiments?
But, then, I also see opportunity to create experiences of love through ongoing discovery and appreciation..opportunities missed by the object of your piece.
I like it, if nothing else came through.
