From The
Selected Poems of Nikki Giovanni: 1968–1995 Enjoy
LOVE IS
Some people forget
that love is
tucking you in and
kissing you
"Good
night"
No matter how
young or old you are
Some people don't
remember that
love is
listening and
laughing and asking
questions
no matter what your
age
Few recognize that
love is
commitment,
responsibility
no fun at all
unless
Love is
You and me
A POEM OF
FRIENDSHIP
We are not lovers
because of the love
we make
but the love
we have
We are not friends
because of the
laughs
we spend
but the tears
we save
I don't want to be
near you
for the thoughts we
share
but the words we
never have
to speak
I will never miss
you
because of what we
do
but what we are
together
