Amateur

Reclaim the word:

 

To be a lover of.

An enthusiast of.

 

When did you become the oxymoron that stands before me,

meant to belittle me.

meant to separate me.

or even shame me.

 

Reclaim the word:

 

To be a lover of.

An enthusiast of.

 

I am your admirer and devoted friend.

 

You are not my profession

You are my pleasure.

 

Much more than a past time or a paycheck.

 

The day I stop loving or even liking you is the day I stopbeing an

 

Amateur.
