Love as Compound Interest

by Antonio Rocco S. (Rocco Valentini)

We say that the capacity to love is infinite
That the potential for connection has no bounds
But the means by which you can love are finite
There is not enough of you to go around.

Love is not inflationary—it cannot be printed.
Love is a stable currency backed by a standard
Only allocate to relationships that are minted
Otherwise your credit will become substandard.

Your account has no balance at the start
Love is accumulated as compound interest
When you offer someone equity in your heart
The ROI makes it more than just business.

Love is not a blank check—it is spiritual wealth 
Its insurance covers you in sickness and in health.
