falling in and out of love at Hiroshima peace museum

i really love you
is that okay
i'm looking at pictures of
    one kind of thing
    people can do to each other
i would never do that to you
i really love you
love is another kind of thing
    people can do to each other

things people can do to each other
    can make people
    throw up their hands & despair
things people can do to each other
    can make people cry
i would probably make you cry

when we cry we both cry
we don't put it in picture frames
    and look at it a lot
i really love you
is that still okay
just don't hold my hand
not while i'm looking at pictures of
    one kind of thing
    people can do to each other
