Cliche Love

Cliché Love

I need you like a toothbrush needs toothpaste.

I need you like wine needs blue cheese.

Like a joke, laughter is needed.

I love you like the sea that covers the globe.

Empty places need loneliness.

Like how forgetting faces can haunt you.

Like how love needs hate.

And how many hours need minutes to expand.

Design needs resistance and a lack of conformity.

How the sky needs clouds to style itself.

Like an old tradition that needs something new.

How teams need conflict and collaboration.

Like in life, you need breath to fill your lungs.

How life needs death to be reborn.

How sadness needs joyfulness of life,

How rules need breaking and consequences.

When stability can use a little confusion and chaos,.

How peace needs to be disturbed to find quiet.
