Can I love the way that you linger on my tongue

Sweeter than any maple drizzle

More resonating than the most passionate kiss

But don’t tell, and don’t be mad

Passion is another feeling, yes, but I mention it as an act, a behavior

Not like you

In your own right, you are a “feeling” with a voice

And unique to any other feeling, you are logical, which makes your voice all the more loud

You, a feeling, a process that gives me peace

And cleanses me from the abhorrent

I like you, Reason

You always compliment me so well

And when you leave my tongue, you are hard for certain audiences to ignore, or reject

You are derived from the most knowledgeable parts of my mind

Making you one of the strongest parts of me

You keep me sane, you keep me gratified

That is why I love you
