Freedom To Love

If freedom had a definition, love would know no limits through you 

If knowing you required making sense 
I gained myself a quality of happiness, finding my absence of necessity, coercion, or constrain in choice 
Knowing that you spoke boldness through conception and execution 
Securing opportunities to life, liberty and my pursuit of happiness 

Oh love!

If prison is for those who are at fault with the law
Arrest my state of mind to imprison me from being enslaved by love 

Freedom to love made me vulnerable to finding a partner whom I completely lost myself to and gave passion beyond romance 

Without question, love required from me what was simple without its unbelievable turmoil and complexity to the modern kind of love I was introduced to 

A simplicity of learning to open my heart and life with honesty knowing the difference between accepting and rejecting the freedom to love
