In Love
Out of nowhere, he showed up.
Such an unexpected surprise is rarely appreciated.
Yet, still, I took the time to see what was behind this shadow of a man.
Days passed and in time I came to see that this man's name was LOVE.
LOVE and I got closer than close and found out that what we needed most in our
lives was each other.
LOVE needed me and I needed LOVE.
Others don't understand what is between us.
Others think that I don't need LOVE.
Others think that LOVE will leave me.
You see, nothing is perfect and I will admit that.
As I found out his name was LOVE he found out my name was HATE, a name
given to me by those who have distracted and destroyed me on my quest to find
myself.
Although LOVE hasn't fully developed into his wholeness, he has transformed
me into what he is.
HATE needed LOVE and LOVE needed HATE.
Now LOVE is in me...and I am in LOVE.
