Love Has Taken Its Toll

love has taken a toll on me
on lengths very few could understand
i am still a huge fan
though the sight of feeling the genuineness seems to far from where i stand
love interacts with two compatible people
for which becomes light in life an strong combined souls of equal
its a gift that is shared of beauty and free will of expression
with very rare doubt and a decent amount of communication
trusting at the highest of mountains
as passion runs deep as the oceans sand
understanding even when unrelated to experiences
because the bond of knowing the person goes beyond expectations
many moments of laughter and shared secrets
like a teenage crush sneaking out to remain in keep sakes
its a friend as well as a lover
unlimited to be able to cry on a shoulder
judging or rebelling does not exist between each other
hands are tender to each touch
kisses are missed in between such
everyday is as strong as first met
as love is suppose to be kept
words generous to each syllable 
loyalty and respect is never paused still
new memories are made for each day
isnt love suppose to be this way?
i could go on an on
because this is the love in which i was born
the love i yearn and desire that i claim as my fire 
to keep in hopes that ill find
an that one day will be mine
this is the love i give
for which i live
though the kind to me thats been given
seems too much like undesirable sinnin
which has took a toll on me
this person that you see?
used to wear her heart on her sleeve
now in most cases is skeptical of being deceived
cautious of premeditated schemes 
which is not at all as i  had dreamed
that love would do to me....
