It seems like forever.

I wonder. What I’d do. If I lost my inclination. To write. Maybe it would be the same. As deciding to stop breathing. I’d be dead. Some things I have to do. In order to stay alive. The list includes. Falling in love. With something. Such as writing. Or someone. Such as my Italian true love. Maybe being in love. Is more important. More essential. Than writing. I could still settle for thinking loving thoughts. Can’t remember exactly when I wrote my first word. Certainly, it was years after my first spoken word. As for love. I don’t know when that first happened. Maybe it doesn’t matter. It seems like forever. --Jim Broede
