I don’t happen to be in the business of
falling in love with the changing of the seasons
Love came softly for me, and so slowly
I woke up one day and found Love outside a chapel,
in a moment that brought me to my knees
Love was the quiet type and didn’t talk much
But Love was true to the letter, always
Love was kind and selfless when hope was wearing thin
Love appreciated every little thing I did
Love didn’t answer right away, but sent me messages when I least expected it
Love was shy when I was fierce
Love was aloof when I was an open book
Love doubted when I believed
But when we looked into each other’s eyes all we saw was Truth and Beauty
And even though Love didn’t stay and didn’t answer one day,
Love has never left my heart since
Love has opened my eyes and blasted my door wide to possibilities
Love has planted seeds of hope
Love has inspired me to write poetry again
Love has taught me to be patient and wait for the real thing
Love has ushered me back into the arms of the Universe
And though we’re not together,
I still let Love go because that’s what you do
when Love means the world to you
