Love doesn't allude

What is it I seek, you ask?
Love … that dares to grow aside
Between two transformations,
Choosing to walk with each other
I long for something like this, do you?
 
What do I want, you ask?
Love… that grows old in peace,
where we break bread over every morning tea,
Definitely not the kind that grows apart in comfort
leaving you to a brink of thee; Don’t you ?

What do I hope, you ask?
Love that agrees to stand;
And doesn’t cease in dark
It shields while you grieve and re-build
I long for something like that, do you?
 
What do I wish, you ask?
Souls resurrect many times in one life
Real love stays in kindness and holds the space
Doesn’t shame, control or mold you,
And never leaving you to wander in a bond for two,
I wish this love upon you, I hope you do too!
