Thesauruses will tell you that I love
Is synonymical with "I adore."
I find the latter signifies far more
And yet in some ways less. When thinking of
The way that I adored you so before
I know I idolized you far above
The bounds of reason; but a shove
Of disbelief can topple idols, for
They are unstable, overcertain things.
A love instead accepts the minor faults
That everybody has, and also knows
The bigger problems everybody brings
Along with them. Where adoration halts
Love, in awareness of its meaning, goes.
