Aid and abet

Love is the ultimate outlaw.
It just won’t adhere to any rules.
The most any of us can do
is to sign on as its accomplice.
Instead of vowing to honor and obey,
maybe we should swear to aid and abet.
That would mean that security is out of the question.
The words ‘make’ and ‘stay’ become inappropriate.
My love for you has no strings attached.
I love you for free.
