I Am Officially Jealous

Love Poem with Toast

I liked the first line in this poem, "some of what we do, we do
to make things happen," it makes a lot of sense if you think about
it, plus this line is just brilliant "The rest of what we do, we do
trying to keep something from doing something" we do this all the
time; with a lie, or keeping your hair clean. Little things like that
make it so we're constantly doing something that isn't necessary, 
if you really think about it.

We will always be wanting to do these things so we can move 
forward with our lives. I like that part in the poem, and when it
lists things we want like, "wanting to be wanted."

But when it all comes down to it, your in love and you'll find 
yourself thinking about it at breakfast just pretending and lying to your self.
"as each of us wants the other watching at
the end, as both want not to leave the other
alone, as wanting to love beyond this meat
and bone, we gaze across breakfast and pretend."
