Habits

Habits

i haven't written a poem in so long  
i may have forgotten how  
unless writing a poem  
is like riding a bike  
or swimming upstream  
or loving you  
it may be a habit that once aquired  
is never lost    

but you say i'm foolish  
of course you love me  
but being loved of course  
is not the same as being loved because  
or being loved despite  
or being loved    

if you love me why  
do i feel so lonely  
and why do i always wake up alone  
and why am i practicing  
not having you to love  
i never loved you that way
