The Advice I Wish They'd Given Me at Graduation, pt. 3

Love is an iron manacle
Forged in the heat of passion.
It binds us to our mistakes,
To unhealthy relationships.

Love is the only reason that I
Have ever spent contiguous hours of time
With someone who makes my nails reach for my eyes,

But over the years, in all of the seasons,
There've been people I liked for explicable reasons.
Spending time with them is something I choose
Despite freedom, despite other things I could do.
God likes me. God likes you.
