Until Then
You are scared
You are scared, of the cage you think love puts you in
So much so, that you have not realized the cage you put yourself in for being scared to be loved
And through eyes
That does not make you free
Or wild
Or this out of the box thinker
It just makes you scared
It makes you fear life
You have been so hurt by whom ever
That you fear giving yourself completely to someone
Because if you do that
If you surrender
Then you know that you have no more control over you
For someone so free spirited
You fear love
I am not saying it is a good thing or a bad thing
But nonetheless, it is your thing
And in fearing love
You are going to run into yourself every single time
I can tell you want connection
I can tell you crave intimacy
But you will not allow you to be open to love
Love is not a cage
It is the most freeing feeling, that has ever come into existence
It is not to put anyone in a cage, but only to allow them to love you
So you have the will to want to live
To crave to live
You no longer crave to live
You only live by rules and routine
True love
Is unconditional and it is free
And those who knows its power, knows not to ever take advantage of it
It will never put you in this cage
Or want you to stop living life
And those who want to cage you
Are those who want to do nothing but trap you
Want to control you
And nothing more
That is not love if someone wants to do that to you
The best way I can describe love verus no love
Is that love knows one day it will have to let you go
But in doing so love will continue to love
It is not going to stop because you are no longer around
And with no love, it knows if it lets you go that it will not continue to love
It does not know how to survive without you
Because it has attached itself like a leech
But if its real love, if it is true
It wants to open the door to the cage that you and others have placed you in
It wants to open that door an allow you to flow freely
Into the unknown
And into the universes beauty
And I only hope one day, that you are conscious enough to realize, that love has entered your life
And I hope one day you will be open enough to receive it when it does
Until then
