I love.

I love.

When you love you put everything at risk

You risk everything

Though your tongue may stammer

Though your heart may break

You risk.

You try.

I love.

 

I love.

When you love you give all your best.

You give inadequately.

Though your hands tremble,

Though your eyes well with tears,

You give.

You surrender.

I love.

 

I love.

When you love you take what’s offered.

Though the weight is too heavy,

Though your hands are over full.

You take.

You stand.

I love.

 

I love.

When you love you want and hunger.

Though you take

Though you devour

You long.

You want.

I love.

 

I love.

When you love you want the best for.

Though it cracks you open

Though the price is your soul

You stay or

You go.

I love.

 

I love.

When you love you forgive.

Though it is in spite of

Though it is rejected

You let go.

You choose to.

I love.

 

I love.

When you love you allow free choice.

Though watching rips you.

Though waiting pains you.

You pause.

You cope.

I love.
